Such a simple thing as a napkin came to us from the distant times of the Roman Empire. Rich noble people used napkins made of expensive materials, embroidered with gold threads during dinner. The Roman Empire fell, times have passed, but napkins have remained an indispensable attribute of table setting. Today, the variety of napkins and options for laying them is amazing. A beautiful napkin can become a table decoration, so the ability to arrange napkins beautifully will be useful for any woman.
Instructions
Step 1
Napkins can be linen and paper. Linen napkins require maintenance. Therefore, paper napkins are becoming more and more popular.
Step 2
For breakfast or lunch, you can fold the napkin in four, double, triangle or roll.
Step 3
For table setting for dinner, you can use more complex and original ways of decorating napkins. Cylinders, roses, candles, a sail or a cone - this is not the whole list of what shapes can be made from paper napkins.
Step 4
Recently, the option of folding napkins with a roll, using a transverse ring, has become more and more popular. If you choose this method, then put such napkins either on the plate or near it.
Step 5
Rings of all kinds of colors and designs can be purchased with dinnerware sets or separately in specialized stores. You can also make your own rings from beads, bows, fabric, leather and beads. This design option looks very original.
Step 6
A similar option is a napkin folded into a tube. To do this, unfold the napkin so that the corner touches the center of the napkin. You need to roll up the tube as thin as possible to the very end. Fix the edge with a drop of water. Such tubes are placed in tall glasses and placed along the entire length of the table.
Step 7
The fan folding option is very popular. Unfold the napkin and fold it into an accordion along its entire length. Connect and fasten the two corners. If the edges of the napkin are wide, the fan will stand firmly on the table. If not, then you need to turn on your imagination and come up with an original mount.
Step 8
One of the options is a rose. You should purchase paper napkins in different colors - red, pink and yellow, for the sheets you need green napkins.
Step 9
It is very simple to fold a rose. Bend the unfolded edge of the napkin by 3-4 cm, make corners on both sides and, holding the edge of the napkin with one hand, twist it into a loose tube with the other. The flower is formed from the resulting tube, folding the edges in the form of a rose. The sheet is folded as follows: without unfolding the napkin, fold two opposite corners together so that they touch. Place the resulting bouquets on tables and in vases.
Step 10
If you are planning to arrange napkins in glasses, then the "Candle" method will suit you. It is very simple in execution, convenient and original. To do this, you need to choose napkins of the same color and large size. Unfold the napkin, fold it diagonally into a triangle. Then, with both hands, twist the napkin into a tube, starting at the base, towards the apex of the triangle. Once the napkin is rolled up, fold it in half and insert it into the napkin holders. If the napkin holder is round large, then the space can be filled with the same candles of different colors.
