Christmas Tree Napkin Tutorial

These cute Christmas tree napkin

folds are so easy and would be 

perfect for your holiday table.

Start with a square ironed napkin.

Mine had a design just on one side

so I folded the design inside to make

it show on the outside of the tree.

Fold in half twice to end up with a square.

Start with the folded point at the top

and the open edges toward you, then

fold up each layer of the edges

leaving about a little less than half an inch of

the layer before it exposed.

This is what it looks like with all

of the layers folded towards the top.

Now flip it over with all of the folded

layers underneath and the point at 

the top.

At the bottom edge, fold in one side to the

middle making a point.  This point towards

you will be your top of your Christmas tree.

Fold in the other side to the center.

 Flip it over once more so that it looks like this.

Now starting with the top layer,

the one farthest from you, fold

the top layer up to make the top point

of your tree.  On the next layer fold it

under.

On the third layer, fold the point up

and tuck it under the second layer.

On the fourth and final layer, fold it under.

Then take the remaining napkin at the bottom and fold

it under to create the triangle shape of the tree.

If desired stitch a bell or

small ornament at the top of the tree.

These really added some fun to my

table that I posted last time.  I even showed

my dinner guests how to fold the napkins.
