The Pyramid Napkin Fold

The Pyramid Napkin Fold

This classy napkin folding technique is simple, fast, and can be made easily with most napkins. If the napkin being used is thin and flops easily then iron it with light starch prior to folding and it will turn out perfectly!

                                              1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you.

                                           2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally

                                           3. Rotate the napkin so the open end faces away
                                           from you.

                                           4. Fold the right end up to meet the far corner,
                                           ensuring the edge of this new fold lays on the
                                           centerline as shown.

                                           5. Repeat the last step with the left side, folding
                                           the left tip up to the far corner, creating a diamond
                                           shape with a seam running down the center.

                                           6. Turn the napkin over, keeping the open end
                                           facing away from you.

                                            7. Fold the napkin in half by bringing the farthest
                                            point of the diamond up and back to the nearest
                                            point.

                                           8. Turn the napkin over again, this time keeping
                                           the open end facing towards you.

                                           9. Fold the napkin along the center seam and you
                                           have a neat, sturdy pyramid. If your napkin won't
                                           stand neatly then you may need a little starch.
