Ingredients
- Cloth napkins
Instructions
- Select a clean, crisp cloth napkin with minimal wrinkles. Iron the napkin if necessary to create smooth, sharp edges.
- Lay the napkin flat on a clean, flat surface with the wrong side facing up. Ensure the napkin is completely spread out and smooth.
- Fold the napkin exactly in half diagonally, creating a triangle shape with the point facing downward.
- Take the bottom right corner of the triangle and fold it towards the center point, creating a smaller triangular shape.
- Repeat the same fold with the bottom left corner, bringing it towards the center point to create a symmetrical shape that looks like a diamond.
- Carefully turn the napkin over, keeping the folded edges facing down.
- Fold the bottom point upward about two-thirds of the way, creating a pocket-like structure.
- Flip the napkin back over to reveal the neat pocket fold.
- Adjust and smooth out any uneven edges to create a crisp, professional-looking napkin pocket.
- Place the napkin on the table or insert a utensil, place card, or decorative element into the newly created pocket.
