Christmas time is coming soon - happy time, the beautiful table decoration is not far away. At Christmas, we like to decorate the tree, the living room and of course the banquet table. Christmas napkins should not be missed. In this tutorial, we show you how to fold Christmas napkins - so you fold a Christmas tree, angel, boots and Christmas tree.

Folding napkins is no longer just a task for the catering trade, but is also becoming increasingly popular in one's own four walls - especially at big festivals such as Christmas.

It does not matter whether you are folding high-quality fabric napkins or paper napkins - these folding techniques always make for great enthusiasm.

Fold star out of a napkin

The Christmas star belongs to Christmas like cookies and Christmas tree. So why not just integrate it into your table decoration ">

manual

Step 1: Place the unfolded paper napkin in front of you at the beginning. If you want to fold a printed napkin, with a nice and not so nice side, the beautiful side should now be down.

Step 2: Fold the lower and upper half of the napkin towards the center line. Turn the napkin and repeat this again. The last two folds are opened again and you can see that the napkin is now divided into eight squares.

Step 3: Now fold the napkin in zig-zag. Start with the bottom edge. This will be folded up to the next lines. Then turn the napkin to the back and fold this piece up again until the next fold. Repeat this process repeatedly until the napkin is completely folded. You can now see the zigzag pattern on the side.

Step 4: The napkin should now lie in front of you so that the top zig-zag layer is open at the bottom. Lift this layer to the left and push the top edge inward to see a triangle. The situation is taken once again, so to speak. Repeat with all layers on the left side.

Step 5: Then repeat step 4 also on the right side.

Step 6: The napkin star then only has to be unfolded. With paper clips, the open points on the ground can be connected to each other - this results in a closed star. The napkin poinsettia is ready!
