In this class you will learn how to fold napkins in five unique ways. You will learn these different fold techniques: the dinner jacket napkin, the corn on the cob napkin, the envelope napkin, the candle napkin, and a teachers choice napkin fold. Once you finish learning how to fold these napkins, you can wow your friends and family at your next meal. Napkins are an essential part of meal times, so you will also learn napkin etiquette and a little bit about the history of the napkin (spoiler alert: The first napkins were made of paper and used in China).
Other Details
Supply List
1) You will need five cloth napkins that are at least 16” by 16” when laid flat and unfolded. You may use paper napkins but they need to be the proper size and might fold a bit differently than cloth. You can purchase napkins at your local thrift store or buy them inexpensively on eBay. 2) You will also need a 10 inch long piece of ribbon to make the bowtie for the dinner jacket napkin. I use 1” wide black or white ribbon but you can use whatever color you like. 3) Scissors 4) A dinner plate 5) Optional: 2-3 straight pins to hold the folds in place while you arrange the napkin or double sided tape.
