How to Flat Fold Napkins for a Party
- 1). Lay the cloth napkin on the table directly in front of you, making sure it is smoothed out face-down.
- 2). Pull the far end of the napkin toward you, folding the entire thing in half horizontally.
- 3). Next, fold the napkin into fourths so that the open-end is on the bottom right in front of you.
- 4). Take the top layer of the napkin and lift it up. Fold it diagonally toward the upper left corner.
- 5). Take the next layer of the napkin and repeat the above step, but this time, place this layer directly below the last layer. This should create a slightly staggered look.
- 6). Repeat this step with the bottom two layers, lifting them up and pulling them to the upper-left corner, but placing the corner directly below the layer that came before it. You should have four layers, one just below the other.
- 7). Fold the ends of the napkin underneath itself, creating a cone shape out of the napkin. Smooth the layers down and you are finished.
