Folding napkins: Folding subjects in three variants

  • The simple fan
  • The double fan
  • The fan with lace

In addition to the Bischofsmütze or Tafelspitz, fan shapes are among the classic napkin folding techniques in gastronomy. Also, you can get a piece of restaurant chic home - fold for the next celebration but even your napkins to subjects. We have described three fan versions in an overview step by step, including pictures and videos. Marvel at how easy your table decoration can be spiced up.

The firm and robust cloth napkins are better suited for all three napkin compartments than paper napkins - the strength of the fabric makes the construct very stable. If you make a lot of effort when folding, paper napkins can also be used.

The simple fan

Step 1: Pick up a napkin. The folded paper napkin is unfolded once at the beginning. Lay these along and with the closed side to you on the table.

Step 2: Now fold the napkin lengthwise in 3 cm wide strips into a concertina. Fold the napkin until it is about 1/3 left.

Step 3: Now turn the napkin on the back.

Step 4: Then fold the napkin in the middle - the accordion strips are on the outside.

Step 5: Now fold the remaining part diagonally.

Step 6: Finally, you only need to unfold the fan. Put this on his foot on the plate or the laid table - ready!

Tip: The paper clip is used for attachment - so the fan can not unfold by itself.

The double fan

The double napkin fan is very elegant. Cloth napkins in this fan shape give each table a noble touch.

Step 1: Fold the napkin completely and place it with the beautiful side down on the table.

Step 2: Now fold the lower half up and the upper half down to the center line.

Step 3: These two halves are now folded together, folding the lower half upwards.

Step 4: Turn the napkin 90 degrees and fold it to the accordion with three centimeters wide strips.

Step 5: Now you have the napkin package with the short side and the double accordion layer up in the left hand - fold down the folds of the accordion facing you in small tips. Pull it down with your finger.

Step 6: Turn the package that now shows the other half of the accordion to you and repeat step 5 with this page.

Step 7: Now gently unfold the fan. Put this directly on the table at the same time. The fold unfolds when you let it go by itself. The double napkin fan is ready.

Tip: Use a paper clip to attach the napkin to the bottom to keep the fan in shape.

The fan with lace

Step 1: Open the square folded napkin once so that it lies longitudinally in front of you on the table.

Step 2: Then fold them lengthwise ¾ into a concertina.

Step 3: Now fold the napkin once in the middle so that the accordion stripes look outward.

Step 4: Now fold the top right corner diagonally to the bottom left. This right edge is folded so far down the left that it folds between the pleats.

Step 5: Now the fan only has to be unfolded. The fan surface is on the plate and the top of the napkin sticks out - Voila!
