Dress up your table these holidays with three simple napkin folding.

Rosebud Napkin Fold Fold the napkin diagonally in half with the open ends of the triangle facing away from you. Fold the right corner up so the point is directly at the center. Do the same with the left corner. Flip the napkin over, open end still away from you. Fold the bottom of the napkin two thirds of the way up. Press well. Now flip over with point facing away from you. Curl left and right sides up so they meet in the middle. Tuck one side into the other.

Fanfare Fold the napkin in half, with the open end towards you. Start folding like an accordion (as you would a paper fan), leaving two to three inches at the end. Fold the napkin in half, with the accordion on the outside. Fold the loose ends together and tuck into the accordion. Open the fan.

Basic Silverware Pouch Fold the napkin in half, with the open end away from you. Fold it again in the middle. Fold the top layer in half diagonally and press down. Turn it over. Fold the right side back a third of the way and press. Repeat with the leaf side and tuck the ends to seal. Flip it over and slip in your utensils.
