Something I've started doing recently, and have fallen in LOVE with, is making an effort to set our table each night when i'm cleaning up the kitchen. I have so many pretty chargers, table cloths, cute napkins and adorable dishes that I hardly ever use. So, i've been trying to make more of an effort to use them! Plus, I love getting ready to eat a meal, and already having the table set.
I've started experimenting with different ways to fold my cloth napkins, and this cute bow has become my go-to. Not only is it super simple to fold, but it's also adorable! I thought i'd throw together a little tutorial so you can see just how easy these are to fold.
The steps are so simple, and you end up with an adorable accent for your table.
Step 1. Lay your napkin out flat. I like to do this on the table, as it makes it a little easier. Don't worry if your napkin is a little wrinkled; by the time you fold it you won't be able to tell.
Step 2. Fold napkin in 1/3rd "Hot Dog Style".
Step 3. Fold Napkin in 1/3rds again.
Step 4. Fold napkins in 1/3rd again, but this time length wise.
Step 5. Fold the napkin in 1/3rd one last time.
Step 6. Roll the napkin up. It doesn't have to be too tight, but tight enough to be able to slide it into a napkin ring in step 7.
Step 7. Slide the rolled napkin into a napkin ring. You can use any style napkin ring, I just really like these simple ones for the bows.
Step 8. Keep the napkin ring in the center of the napkin, and slowly unroll the napkin. Shape the napkin to make sure both side are even, and then you are done!
See, I told you it was super simple! I usually got ahead and roll a bunch of them after I wash a load of the napkins. Then, I store then in a drawer in my China Cabinet and just pull them out as I need them.
Hope you try this tutorial out! If you do, leave me a comment below, or post a picture on Instagram and tag me! :)
