How Fold A Paper Christmas Napkin

Christmas Table Setting Ideas

 Today I'm sharing a lovely way to present a paper Christmas Napkin.

Christmas Table Setting Ideas

As well as a simple table setting in Christmas greens and reds.

Christmas Table Setting Ideas
You will need:
Christmas design Paper Napkins
One large plate and one medium plate.
A fabric napkin.
A checked table mat.

How to Fold Christmas Napkins
Place the paper napkin on a table or bench.
Open  as shown with the fold to the right.

How to Fold Christmas Napkins
Hold your finger at the middle.

How to Fold Christmas Napkins
Pull down one layer of the napkin to create a triangle.

Flip it up to the line up with the top triangle.

You now have two triangles up that meet together, and a square of double layer napkin at the bottom.

How to Fold Christmas Napkins
Repeat steps for the bottom square of the napkin.

So it looks like this.

Hold by the top top and place on the dinner plate.

Christmas Table Setting Ideas
You now have a standing paper napkin Christmas tree!

Christmas Table Setting Ideas
I add a lovely ornament to the plate, and this year carved a small heart stone.

Christmas Table Setting Ideas
This is the finished table setting idea.
It's simple but Christmasy in green, white, cream and red colours.

Christmas Table Setting Ideas
To make a little heart rock, just look for small stones that are heart-shaped, as this one was.
Then I used 100-grit sandpaper to shape the cleft and lobes at the top.
