Pyramid Napkin Fold

For some reason, autumn always makes me think of napkins in pretty folds gracing the table. Perhaps it's because the next few weeks will be filled with occasions when we can make our dining tables beautiful with treats like this.

Here is a very simple, very clever design for your next gathering.

1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you. Fold the napkin in half diagonally with the point at the top.


2. Fold the right end up to meet the far corner, matching all the edges.


3. Repeat with the left side, folding the left tip up to the far corner, creating a diamond shape with a seam running down the center.


4. Flip the napkin over, keeping the open end facing away from you.


5. Fold the napkin in half by bringing the top point down to meet the bottom point.


6. Turn the napkin over again, keeping the point toward you. It will look very similar to the other side, but this is a necessary step.


7. Fold the napkin along the center seam and you have a neat little pyramid. The front fold will open a little to help it stand a little better. So cute!
