    Fold it in half diagonally.

  • 3

    Fold it in half diagonally again.

    Take the top fold and fold it down into an accordion fold, making it approximately one inch wide.

  • 5

    Flip the napkin over and repeat the process of making an accordion fold.

  • 6

    Make sure to firmly press down each fold to create clean creases.

    Next, cut a piece of twine about 15 inches long.

  • 8

    Tie the twine into a bow at the bottom of your napkin.

  • 9

    Turn your napkin so you can see the folds.

    Gently pull on either side of the napkin to fan out the folds.
