Instructions:
We can make the Bishop’s Hat in 8 easy steps.
1. Start by folding a square napkin in half from top to bottom, and crease it in the middle.
2. Now fold the bottom left corner up to the middle of the top edge.
3. Fold the top right corner to the middle of the bottom edge.
4. Go ahead and flip it over.
5. Fold one of the edges, up to meet the other, then pull the point out from under the top fold.
6. To finish up, just crease the left side triangle in half, and tuck it into the fold of the other.
7. Now flip it over again.
8. Repeat the same thing on the other side, and when that’s tucked into place, gently pull the napkin open at the bottom, and set it upright.
You can see these are simple to make, and setting them on your dinner plates, adds a dash of class.
If you try this with a paper napkin, it will probably turn out something like what you see in the video.
