Happy Holidays School of Napkin Folding – Day 10

It would be interesting to find out the history behind some of these folds. This next napkin fold is called “The Pyramid”. I wonder if this fold originated in 1922 when Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb or had it been around under another name and was just renamed to celebrate the discovery? Themed parties and card parties were very popular up until the 1940s so it could have been renamed to go with a particular decorating theme. If anyone has any information about this let me know.

The next napkin fold to try is called “The Mitre”.

This fold would be great if you celebrate St. Nicholas Day, just put a few gold chocolate coins under the mitre as a treat for each person at the dinner party.

This design will hold a flower under the fold that runs across the napkin or tuck a gold chocolate coin in each diamond shape of the fold. This napkin fold is called “The Flat Sachet”.

When you are doing the napkin folds try using coloured napkins in place of plain white, a sheer overlay on a contrasting or complimentary coloured napkin or use two thin napkins of two different or coordinating colours. Experiment and have fun. This next napkin fold is called “The Fan”.
