Napkin Folding Tutorial: The Butterfly

Recently, I created a table setting with a butterfly napkin fold. (You can view this tablescape in detail, HERE.)



I used this same napkin fold again for this table setting which can be viewed in full, HERE.



This fold is super easy to create.  I think it looks especially nice when created with a napkin that has a scalloped edge. Hope you enjoy this butterfly napkin fold tutorial.  (The lens cap is just there to give the camera something to focus on.)

































I wonder how it would look with a couple of sprigs of lavender tucked into the very top for little antenna.

  1. Oooo, I can't wait to try this, Susan! Of course, having such pretty napkins with those scalloped edges makes yours look even more realistic. Great Tut!

    Your tablescape was wonderful, too & I have been seriously coveting your beautiful red stems since I saw them 2 Christmas' ago! *sigh*

    Hugs,

    p.s. Praying that you don't get too much rain or flooding from Irene.

  4. I guess I have to have company over soon so I can use this.
    Very cute.
    I did the pinwheel fold a couple weeks ago. Doesn't go as planned when your napkins are not perfectly square. Linen never stays even after you wash them.

  8. That was cute Susan. As I was reading the process of the folds, it reminded me of those paper wish things we made when younger!! :)
