How to beautifully fold napkins for the New Year's table?

Celebrating the New Year in every family is a special holiday that everyone is looking forward to. They begin to prepare for his meeting long before his onset. Each hostess certainly plans what dishes she will cook and how she will arrange the festive table. One of the most interesting and varied elements of table setting is the design of napkins.

On the table, napkins look very nice, decorated in a certain way with different ideas in color and shape. They are a kind of table decoration for the New Year and give a special charm and sophistication to the celebration. A huge number of different folding schemes allows you to choose the most attractive option.

Most housewives focus on dishes and their variety, forgetting that a beautifully decorated table is not only about festive salads and champagne. Nuances such as the tablecloth, the dishes on which the food is laid out, as well as napkins, cutlery and many other details play an important role.

In order to beautifully fold paper napkins with your own hands and decorate the table with them, you need to imagine what kind of shape you need to get.There are many distinct folding sequences, after which, when folded appropriately, the napkin will take on its final shape.

When folding, take into account that all actions must be done carefully, and the folded napkins should not look wrinkled. For this purpose, when folding fabric products, an iron is used to smooth the surfaces. It is better to iron even damp products, after which they will look even and smooth.

Also, for a certain design option for the New Year's table, products are made from fabrics of various colors, taking into account the general color scheme of the room design and festive themes.

To get a two-color Christmas tree, you just need to lay out a round two-color serving napkin with the colored side inward. In this case, it is necessary to leave a small protruding edge. After that, turn the resulting shape over and fold the large tail along the lateral right line. You can then put it under the appliances.

Folding in the form of the "French version" is very interesting. This method is very common in classic table setting. In this case, it is necessary to fold a square napkin made of paper into a square in the usual way, after which the three upper corners are folded down with the same gap. Then the left side is folded and cutlery can be put into the resulting pockets.

Using for decoration such an attribute of the festive table design as napkins, it should be borne in mind that they should be harmoniously combined with decorative elements and correspond to the main color scheme. They can be placed in different places on the table and in different designs, which will emphasize sophistication and create a homey feel.

Figuratively folded napkins can also be placed in a special glass or wine glass.

Nicely folded napkins are an important serving element. Fold them in different ways and your table will look even more appetizing.

Such a Christmas tree made of fabric is easy to make in literally one minute, and you don't need any scissors or glue for this. We recommend taking only green napkins, like the original, but, of course, the color options can be very diverse.

It is necessary to fold the fabric in four times and unfold it towards you with open corners. Next, bend the edges overlapping one on top of the other and turn the napkin over. On the reverse side, we connect the corners and turn over again. Now we fill both edges behind the previous one, while bending them up, and the wonderful Christmas tree is ready.

This method is simple to perform and looks very stylish on the Christmas table.

The work progress is as follows:

• you need to fold the fabric by connecting opposite corners;
• we fold the roller and bend one edge perpendicularly;
• you need to wrap the remaining napkin around it;
• Place the folded fabric in the shape of a candle on a plate.

If a large number of guests gather at the festive table, then this method is an ideal serving option.

First, fold the fabric lengthwise in such a way as to get three identical parts. Next, you need to turn it horizontally and fold the corners with an airplane. Now we turn over the fabric and twist the free edges with a roller, turn over again and bend the edge. The name card will be securely fixed in the resulting rollers.

For this method, it is best to use a white cloth.We fold the napkin diagonally and make a rhombus, turning the extreme corners to the top. Now we turn over the napkin and, to get the "hat" field, bend the edge. We connect the ends from the back side, tucking them into each other.

The easiest and most effective way. We make a rectangle out of the fabric, bend the edge and drag the middle with a ribbon. We hide the edges of the ribbon under the bow.

If you fold a linen napkin in the form of a rooster's comb, it will look beautiful both on a plate and directly on the tablecloth. Before starting folding, the fabric must be starch, then the ends of the comb will not unfold.

Fold the napkin in four, and bend one end up. Bend the right and left sides, aligning them in the center. We bend the two long ends of the formed triangle back. This will be the foundation. Now we move the left and right halves of the new triangle back and finally form a ridge, pulling the triangles up.

Napkins folded in this way are usually very successful. We recommend using a white cloth for this method. The plates of all those present need to be decorated with such a snow-white flower.

• Bend a square napkin diagonally, then bend the two corners of the resulting triangle to the top.
• The napkin has become a square again, the lower corner of which must be bent, and the end must be bent down.
• Now, holding with both hands, gently turn the napkin over with the back side.
• We bend the side corners, tucking one into the other, and again turn the other side.
• Now we spread the corners to the side, forming the petals.

An interesting idea - decoration for felt napkins.

To make it, we take the following steps:

• Cut out the template (you can print or draw as you like) from a piece of cardboard. Now you need to put it on the felt, circle and cut it out.
• We make an incision at one end of the felt shape so that the other can be threaded into it.
• Three pom poms can be glued to the notched side.
• Now wrap the napkin with your embellishment and thread one edge through the notch on the other.

The result is an original Christmas napkin.

All of these methods look stylish and easy to perform. You can easily repeat them or make your own changes. A table set this way is sure to keep your Christmas mood alive.
