A few simple ways to decorate the table

It is worth remembering that many folding options for napkins are perfectly suitable for both paper and tissue napkins. One of such schemes is "Listok".A napkin folded in this way can be placed in a plate, or you can simply decorate it with a table, only this requires a fork for support.

Diagram creation scheme is shown on the photo:

The napkin is required to be folded in the form of a triangle, for this simply fold it diagonally.

Then the bottom edge is bent upward, and exactly the same bend is made down. So the napkin is bent by the accordion until it is finished.

After the napkin is folded, bend it in half. The ends need to be brought together and fastened together. The tip is bent.

The following scheme is called "Flower in a glass".This napkin is placed in a glass, it looks particularly beautiful in a narrow glass.

Its scheme is simple in manufacturing:

We fold the napkin four times and finally get a diamond. In front of him we have so that the free edges are on top. The deaf edge, which remained below, bends about a third. It serves as the basis of the future flower.

Fold the product with an accordion.

After the napkin is folded, take it by the base and place it in the glass so that the free edges are at the top. We form the petals, and everything is ready.

And here is another universal scheme - "Tent".This is a classic variant of folding, which every housewife loves.

First, the napkin should be bent in half so that the fold remains on top.

The upper left corner is pulled down and to the right.

We put it inside.

On the other hand we do the same, so we get an isosceles triangle.

Fold in half, install on the table.
