New Year's Eve in every family is a special holiday, which everyone is looking forward to. They begin to prepare for his meeting long before his advance. Each hostess certainly plans what dishes will be prepared and how to arrange a festive table. One of the most interesting and diverse elements of table setting is the design of napkins.

Design and serving features

On the table napkins look very beautifully decorated in a certain way with various ideas in color and shape. They are a kind of table decoration for the New Year and give special charm and sophistication to the celebration. A huge number of different folding schemes allows you to choose the most attractive option.

Most housewives focus on dishes and their variety, forgetting that a beautifully decorated table is not only holiday salads and champagne. Not the last role is played by such nuances as a tablecloth, dishes, on which food is laid out, as well as napkins, devices and many other details.

Decorating with napkins is a creative process that requires attention and an appropriate mood, not in a hurry, so you need to start it in advance and always with love.

Folding methods

To beautifully fold paper napkins with your own hands and decorate the table with them, you need to imagine what kind of shape you need to get.There are many specific folding sequences, at the end of which, if you fold the napkin accordingly, it will take its final shape.

When folding, it should be noted that all actions must be done carefully, and folded napkins should not look wrinkled. To this end, when folding products made of fabric, an iron is used to smooth surfaces. It is better to iron even wet products, after which they will look even and smooth.

Folding with wet or dirty hands is not permissible.

Also, for a specific design option for the New Year's table, products are made of fabrics of various colors, taking into account the general color scheme of the decoration of the room and the festive theme.

To get a napkin in the shape of a Christmas tree, you must carefully fold the napkin four times, wrap a triangle around the free edge, bend each corner and decorate the top with a bow.

To get a two-color Christmas tree, you just need to lay out the round serving two-color napkin with the color side inward. It is necessary to leave a small protruding edge. After that, we turn the resulting form and fold the big tail along the right side line. Then it can be put under the appliances.

Folding in the form of a “French version” is very interesting. This method is very common in classic table setting. In this case, it is necessary to fold a square paper napkin into a square in the usual way, after which the three upper corners are bent down at the same interval. Then the left side is folded and cutlery can be put in the pockets.

Tips & Tricks

Using for design such an attribute of the design of the festive table as napkins, it should be borne in mind that they should harmoniously combine with decor elements and correspond to the main color scheme. They can be put in various places on the table and in various design, which will emphasize sophistication and create home comfort.

If table setting involves the use of portioned plates, then in this case the napkins are placed on them or between forks and knives.

Folded napkins can also be placed in a special glass or wine glass.

Good examples and options

Beautifully folded napkins are an important element of serving. Fold them in different ways - and your table will look even more appetizing.

Herringbone

It is easy to make such a herringbone of fabric in literally one minute, and for this, neither scissors nor glue are needed. We recommend taking napkins of only green color, as with the original, but, of course, color options can be very diverse.

It is necessary to fold the fabric four times and unfold to itself with open corners. Next, bend the lap edges one on top of the other and turn over the napkin. On the reverse side we connect the corners and turn it over again. Now we fill both edges for the previous one, while bending them up, and the wonderful Christmas tree is ready.

Christmas candle

This method is simple to execute and at the same time looks very stylish on a Christmas table.

Progress is as follows:

  • you need to fold the fabric by connecting opposite corners;
  • turn the roller and bend perpendicularly one edge;
  • you need to wrap the remaining napkin around it;
  • Place the folded candle-shaped cloth on a plate.

Name Card Stand

If a large number of guests gather at the festive table, then this method is an ideal serving option.

To begin, we fold the fabric along in such a way as to get three identical parts. Next you need to rotate it horizontally and fold the corners of the airplane. Now we turn over the fabric and twist the free edges with a roller, turn over again and bend the edge. In the resulting rollers, the name card will be securely fixed.

Hat of St. Nicholas

For this method, it is better to use a white cloth.We fold the napkin diagonally and make a rhombus, turning the extreme corners to the top. Now we turn the napkin over and, to get the “hat” field, bend the edge. Connect the ends on the back side, tucking them into each other.

Bow

The easiest and most effective way. We make a rectangle from the fabric, bend the edge and pull the middle in the middle. We hide the edges of the ribbon under the bow.

Cockscomb

If you fold a linen napkin in the form of a cock's comb, it will look beautiful both on a plate and directly on the tablecloth. The fabric must be starched before folding, then the ends of the comb will not unfold.

Fold the napkin four times and bend one end up. We bend the right and left sides, aligning them in the center. We bend two long ends of the formed triangle back. This will be the basis. Now we take the left and right halves of the new triangle back and finally form a comb, pulling the triangles up.

Lily flower

Napkins folded in this way are usually very successful. For this method, it is recommended to use a white cloth. The plates of all those present need to be decorated with such a snow-white flower.

  • Bend the square napkin diagonally, then bend the two corners of the resulting triangle to the top.
  • The napkin again became a square, the lower corner of which must be bent, and the end bent down.
  • Now, holding with both hands, gently turn the napkin backside.
  • We bend the side corners, tucking one into the other, and again turn the other side.
  • Now we part the corners to the side, forming petals.

Napkins folded in an unusual way can be decorated with a variety of details - then the holiday table will look even brighter and more original.

Felt

An interesting idea is a decoration for felt napkins.

To make it, we take the following steps:

  • Cut a template (you can print it or draw it as you wish) from a sheet of cardboard. Now you need to put it on felt, circle and cut.
  • We make an incision at one end of the felt figure so that the second can be threaded into it.
  • Three pompons can be glued to the notched side.
  • Now wrap the napkin with your decoration and thread one edge into the incision on the other.

The result was an original Christmas napkin.

All of these methods look stylish and easy to perform. You can easily repeat them or make your changes. A table served in this way will surely support your Christmas mood.
