How to fold napkins into a glass beautifully?

Each hostess wants her festive table to be perfectly served and create an appropriate atmosphere. A special role in serving is played by napkins. This indispensable accessory today not only serves as a means of hygiene, but also opens up great opportunities for decoration. Originally laid products can give a festive feast special solemnity. This article shows how to place a table with napkins in a glass.

Useful Tips

Today, wipes are presented in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors. When planning a holiday table setting, It is important to consider all the features of this element:

  • The size. For tea drinking, medium-sized napkins are suitable, large-format products are preferably used at celebrations.
  • Material. Napkins are paper and fabric. Ideally, both materials should be present on the festive table.
  • The form. The assortment is mainly represented by square napkins with chopped edges. However, oval, round, as well as products with openwork edges and fringe are not inferior in popularity to square ones.
  • Colors. Bright colors are suitable for the children's party table, for social events - pastel shades. Color must be in harmony with the tablecloth and utensils.

Keep your wipes clean. Fold them only with washed, dry hands. When shaping, wrinkle as little as possible and fold them.

It is advisable to pre-practice so as not to spoil a pack of new products before the arrival of guests. In addition, it is necessary to fold the napkins so that guests are comfortable to unfold them.

Decor options for the general table

If you don’t have a napkin holder on hand, or it doesn’t quite fit the theme of a party or celebration, then a pack of napkins can be unusually and elegantly put in a beautiful glass or cup. This option is easy to execute, but not inferior in grace to other serving methods.

Easy way

Take two packs of paper products of different colors. Form the first row: fold 4 napkins in an angle into a glass, alternating colors. For ease of insertion, wrap them around your fingers. Gently stick up corners for the outer edge of the glass. Fold the second, third, fourth rows in the same way as the first, alternating colors in a circle, but the corners do not bend anymore.

"Pink flowerbed"

If desired, you can create a beautiful flowerbed with roses on the table. To do this, take a shallow wide cup and a pack of paper napkins. Spread them into rectangles, twist them into small rolls and moderately tightly fold them into a cup, placing them vertically. As a result, the composition should look like a flower bed or a vase of roses.

Bilateral Waterfall

Take a low steady glass. Turn each paper towel once into a rectangle and fold it in a narrow strip along its length. Then lay the strips on top of each other. Fold the stack from them in half and put in a glass so that they hang beautifully on the sides of the dishes.

Candles

Fold each napkin obliquely in half and twist into a tube perpendicular to the base of the triangle. Fold the tubes tightly into a glass and straighten the protruding ends a little so that they look like a candle flame.

"Tubules"

This method is perfect for a children's holiday, especially if you use multi-colored, bright napkins:

  • Bend one corner of the expanded square to the center.
  • Roll the paper product into a tube as thin as possible from the fold to the opposite corner. To prevent the tube from turning, fix the corner with a drop of water.
  • Put the tubes in a glass.

Jewelry in individual glasses

Napkins are folded into a glass both for general use and for each guest individually. Usually linen or cotton napkins are used as individual decorations, but sometimes they are replaced with paper napkins. The main thing is that the products are dense and multilayer. To keep their shape, tissue options carefully starch.

Individual wipes look great both in wine glasses and in plain glasses. The following are a few popular ways of serving this.
