Simple napkin folds

In creating this website we have shared images of a number of beautiful napkin folds you might explore for use in your own home. The most universal fold is of course the quadrangle fold, shown in the upper left of the photo. The upper right is a simple French fold. Essentially this is a triangle with the points turned out. Elsewhere on this website i show napkins folded as swans, also fun to do.  The art of napkin folding is believed to have evolved in France in the 18th century and while initially enjoyed by the rich, the practice was soon adopted by the bourgeois middle class. as of way of creating inexpensive chic.  While in the United states we often don't take the time to set a table as our parents once did, simple napkin folding can tell your family and friends that you really care. And it's fun to do. You can learn more about napkin folding at these urls:
