How to beautifully wrap a fork in a paper napkin
Unusually folded napkins are the key to an attractive and a well-decorated feast. Guests will be pleasantly surprised. Plus one point for the hospitable hostess. It is important to choose accessories that are in harmony with the overall decor, select them not only in accordance with the color scheme, but also to the occasion for which the festive dinner is being held.
To ensure stability of the envelope, it is recommended to take napkins made of thick paper. They are easier to twist and fix.
Easy ways to create a “pocket”
The easiest option to implement is to tie a “scarf” on a fork. Take a napkin and fold it in half. Then wrap it around the device, secure it with a small knot and straighten it out. You can add dried flowers to the ligature.
It is also easy to wrap a diagonally laid napkin so that the corner is at the top of the composition. You can decorate the envelope with an openwork or satin ribbon, tie a fresh flower, or decorate it with original beads made from large elements.
For lovers of the origami technique, it is proposed to make a simple envelope, into which a fork is then placed. To do this, fold the napkin vertically closer to the right side. Fold it in half from bottom to top. Then we turn the top two layers from above towards the center. We do the same with the right side. Fold the triangle down. The remaining layers are subject to the same manipulations, obtaining an attractive “case”.
Beautiful envelope for a fork
To create an original “pocket”, we suggest taking a napkin, which when folded is an even square. It is better to take a large accessory. In any case, the dimensions should not be less than 33 cm on all sides.
Next we follow the instructions:
- fold it in half so that the fold remains at the bottom;
- bend the lower left corner to the center vertically;
- from the right side we form an accordion, starting from the top corner and folding neat strips;
- we move diagonally evenly and symmetrically;
- bend the right side completely towards the center and down;
- lift the left corner of the folded side to the upper right corner, bending it for stability;
- release the accordion and straighten out the creases.
Carefully align and insert appliances. The original decor of the festive table is ready.
