Instructions:

To fold the candle, we’re going to follow 8 simple steps.

1. Start with a square napkin, and turn it slightly so that one point is facing up.

2. Now take the bottom tip, and fold it up toward the top until the two corners match. This should form a rough triangle.

3. The next step is fold the base up just a couple of inches and press it down flat.

4. At this point, we can flip the whole thing over, so the triangle is pointing to the left.

5. Take the bottom point and fold it up so the tip is just past the center.

6. Start rolling the whole thing into a tube, starting from the bottom, and working toward the top. When your roll is finished, you might want to push the uneven ends back into the tube, then tuck the loose end, neatly into the cuff. This should give you a nice sturdy base to hold your napkin upright.

7. To finish off, just turn one layer of the tip down.

8. Then shape the the other layer to look like a flame.

Now your candle looks like it’s burning, with a bit of wax dripping off the top. It’s completely finished, and ready to impress.

Now if you don’t have cloth napkins, try making this with a paper napkin instead. It works just as well, as long as your gentle, and are careful not to tear the paper.

Instructions:

We can make a fancy silverware pouch in just 6 easy steps.

1. Start at the bottom of a square napkin, and fold the two corners up, so the edges line up at the top.

2. Now take the the right side, and fold the napkin in half again, to form a square.

3. Fold the top left corner, of the top layer, down to the opposite side.

4. Go ahead and flip the whole thing over.

5. Fold the right side a third of the way in.

6. Then fold the left edge back over top and tuck the bottom corner, down inside the pocket on the other.

When it’s flipped right-side-up, you can see the pouch is completely finished, so just add some silverware and set it out to impress.

Of course, if you don’t have any cloth napkins, these folds will work just as well, with paper napkins, and plastic utensils.

Instructions:

The “Pyramid” is simple, and can be done in just 6 easy steps.

1. Lay out a square napkin, and begin by folding it up diagonally to form a triangle.

2. Fold up one of the bottom corners, to meet the point at the top.

3. Do the same thing with the point on the other side.

4. Flip the whole thing over.

5. Now just fold it in half from the top to the bottom.

6. Lift it from the center, so that it folds in on itself.

When you stand it upright, your decorative napkin pyramid is finished.

You can probably guess that this will work with paper napkins as well.

Instructions:

We can make the “Elf Shoe” in 8 fairly simple steps.

1. Fold a square napkin in half, from the bottom to the top.

2. Then fold it again from the top to the bottom.

3. Now find the center, and fold the two sides in, the same way you’d fold a paper airplane.

4. Go ahead and continue this idea, by folding the sides in again, forming a sharp point at the tip.

5. At this point, the two halves can fold over on each other, and when you flatten them out, check which side is open, and make sure it’s facing to the bottom.

6. Now focus on the loose parts at the back, and fold the top layer up and out of the way.

7. The bottom layer folds in half, then wraps over the top layer, tucking neatly into the little flap in the side of the shoe.

8. All that’s left now, is to turn down the loose material sticking up at the top, to form a little cuff.

Your little elf shoe napkin is finished and ready for showing off.

If you try making one out of a paper napkin it will probably look something like this.
