Stylish Napkins: 5-Minute Ideas to Transform Your Table

by Labeena Ishaque

Give your table that elegant finishing touch in just 5 minutes with elaborately folded napkins. For an informal gathering, try the Asparagus roll up the napkin, letting its “tips” peek out from within the design. A deluxe meal deserves a sumptuous, finely pleated Swirl of Cream. A few tucks here and there turn a simple cloth triangle into a cockerel’s crest or a lacy napkin into a butterfly. And several Oriental styles capture the feel of origami. Whether it’s a crisp, linen cloth arranged with care or an eye-catching organza extravaganza, these fabulous designs will make any meal extra special.

Bought this book to use for my catering company, and did. Clear directions though photographs. Includes some classics and a few variations. Be aware that not all the folds work without starch, and some folds require over-sized napkins.
