I once used these napkins for a party and everyone loved them. I first found out about these quirky napkins when I was flicking through an old book - it's surprising what you can find! I love making these napkins in different shapes and sizes. I hope you like this project and please comment too!

Instructions

  1. Small dsc00787 1307034640

    Choose a napkin of your choice. It can be any size but it always has to be square. If you haven't tried this project before then bigger napkins are easier to work with.

  2. Small dsc00788 1307034717

    Unfold your napkin and lay it pattern (face) down.

  3. Small dsc00790 1307034805

    Fold all of the corners into the centre to create a smaller square. If you want you can dab the centre with water to make sure the corners of the triangles stick together.

  4. Small dsc00791 1307034880

    Repeat step three - which this time makes an even smaller square.

  5. Small dsc00792 1307035118

    Now turn your napkin over and repeat step three.

  6. Small dsc00793 1307035223

    Next, hold your index finger and your thumb in the centre of the napkin (one finger each side of the napkin). And pull out the flaps on one side of the napkin to create 'petals'. I hope you enjoyed my project!
