The original version of origami napkins for table decoration

Serving option for breakfast and lunch

A bit of history about the traditions of table setting with napkins

If in the Middle Ages a napkin was a luxury item and was made from expensive materials, today it has a less solemn role. The first paper napkins began to be used only in the 20th century after the end of the First World War. They became more practical and were present in almost every home, regardless of status. It was from this moment that it became unnecessary to tuck napkins behind the collar of a shirt or dress.

Today, the abundance of colors, textures and styles of paper napkins is able to re-embody a long tradition of beautiful table setting. A huge number of original ideas and affordable ways to fold napkins allow you to make any breakfast, lunch and dinner festive.

The subtleties of serving napkins on the table

In order for a paper napkin to look spectacular, its design must be unusual, but at the same time it should be easy to unfold.

A simple tea party and lunch does not provide for complex designs, so it is better to leave the most solemn options for dinner. In the first case, it is worth taking napkins 35 × 35 cm, and for the evening 46 × 46 cm. During tea drinking, napkins are folded under the side of the plate, under the guests' appliances, a fruit bowl or for dessert.

Napkins with an ornament and a pattern, as well as an openwork edge, should be neatly folded into a tube, an envelope or in the shape of a triangle on a plate.

You can use rings for serving or in the handle of a cup, folding an origami napkin with an accordion, and also bandaging a dessert spoon.

To save time, you can carefully fold paper napkins in a fan or triangle right into the napkin holder.

You need to fold paper napkins into origami with clean hands, barely touching the cutlery.

Solemnity of the table is given by napkins folded in the form of cylinders and cones.

Do not overdo it with table decoration so that guests do not forget about the direct purpose of paper napkins.

Serving napkins must be absolutely clean and free of stains.

The origami technique came to the aid of the hostess in table setting. Thanks to simple patterns, you can twist a napkin into a flower, boat or peacock. In the future, such an activity as origami can turn into a real hobby.

Choosing the color palette of paper napkins

You can create a festive atmosphere on the table with the help of the correct coloring of paper napkins.

Green shades will refresh the table if the tablecloth and plates are white or pastel colors.

Using several colors at once, you can twist red napkins into roses, and lay out green leaves in a circle.

If a strict dinner is provided or the interior is made in high-tech style, then you should take gray or metallic-colored napkins.

White napkins can be combined with all colors and look great in any design.

Using red on the table, the main thing is not to overdo it and focus on one thing. It can be dishes, then white napkins will look spectacular or, conversely, a light service will be in harmony with bright scarlet paper napkins on plates.

Rules of etiquette in the use of napkins

The hosts finished serving and placed their paper origami masterpiece on the snack plate. After the guests are seated in their places, you need to consider a number of important rules of behavior at the table. They will allow you to comply with the norms of etiquette and maintain a presentable appearance.

Spectacular options for origami napkins

Napkin Envelope

Many housewives, setting the table, do not forget about serving it, because it is an integral part of any successful feast. Beautiful and properly arranged cutlery, unusually wrapped napkins, flower vases and bread bins - all this creates a special feeling of celebration and comfort, improves the appetite of guests and cheers them up.

Serving Features

It is very important to properly and harmoniously arrange napkins on the festive table, because they are its indispensable aesthetic part. To do this right, be sure to pay attention to the serving features and some other important points:

• Since there are paper and fabric napkins, you need to work with each of the varieties in your own way, taking into account the characteristics of each of the materials. However, both of them can be laid out in the form of various figures.

• It is very important to match the napkins to the overall style of the table, their color and design should be in harmony with the overall picture.
• On the same festive table, there should be both cloth napkins and paper napkins at the same time. This is due to the fact that fabric products are intended solely to ensure that people do not stain their clothes, they do not wipe their hands, as this is considered bad form. Paper options are disposable, guests can use them at their discretion.

• To beautifully lay napkins and serve the table, choose fabric napkins with synthetic additives. On the festive table, they will not look wrinkled and will take the form that you give them.

• If there are already plates on the table, then cloth napkins can be placed on them or placed between the fork and knife. There are a lot of design options. If initially you do not assume the presence of plates on the table, then be sure to put beautifully folded napkins instead.

• Textile and paper products can be placed in special decorative wine glasses, glasses and napkin holders.
• According to all the rules, it is forbidden to fold napkins and make various figures out of them with dirty or wet hands, otherwise you can completely spoil their appearance, and as a result, the guests will not be able to celebrate.

• After washing, it is very important to starch fabric products. In the future, it will be easier for you to give them the desired shape. It is best to iron them slightly damp.

Decorating a festive table with your own hands will not be difficult, especially if you follow all the basic recommendations.

How to fold beautifully with your own hands: step-by-step master classes

You can fold napkins beautifully and in an original way in the form of a variety of figures, animals and flowers.

A very unusual and at the same time easy way is herringbone paper napkin. This option is perfect for a festive New Year or Christmas table. To do this, you will need ordinary paper napkins of a standard size, the color can be any, but green or red options will look the most colorful, which will instantly create a festive atmosphere on the table.

Operating procedure:

• The napkin should be placed with the corners down.
• In order of priority, its lower corners should be bent upwards. To begin with, you should take the top layer of the napkin and bend it up, but without reaching the very end.
• The next layer must also be bent up, but not reaching the previous one.
• Thus, all layers of the napkin should be folded.
• Now the workpiece needs to be turned over to its reverse side. To form the same Christmas tree, you should symmetrically bend both of its parts, as it were, into the middle.
• After that, you should turn the Christmas tree with its front side and bend its upper corner.
• Next, each layer on the front side should be bent under the previous one.

You can beautifully serve such a decoration from plain paper by placing it in the middle of the plate. Cones can be used as additional decorations for such a product.

The easiest and most original way can be creating a fan of paper napkins in several colors. Even inexperienced craftswomen who want to beautifully decorate the table can make it.

To create an original fan, you need to purchase paper napkins of different sizes and colors.

Operating procedure:

• Fold each of the napkins in half beforehand.
• Put a small one on a large napkin.
• Then, from the selected edge, you need to start folding both napkins with an accordion. You need to make an accordion exactly to the middle.
• Next, you need to turn the blank on the back side and put it so that the folded accordion is on the right, and the free edge of the napkin is on the left.
• The free edge should be folded down, and the tip that remains below should be tucked back and also bent. This is done in order to create a kind of support-stand for our fan.
• The final step will be the spreading of the fan.

Such "fan" products are perfect for any festive table, whether it's a birthday feast or a Christmas dinner with the family.

Very easy to assemble paper candle napkin. For this, it is best for you to use large paper napkins. They can be plain and with small patterns:

• Unfold the napkin and lay it face down. Bend it diagonally to make a triangle.
• At the fold, make a strip of no more than 2 centimeters.
• Now you should twist the so-called tube, which should turn out on a stand.
• The remaining and protruding corner must be filled inside the resulting candle.

To make the resulting product even more original, you can even put a real candle in it. However, it is best to do this only if you did not use a paper napkin, but a fabric one to create this figure.

You can also beautifully arrange a textile napkin in the form of an envelope or a so-called sachet for cutlery:

• Fold the napkin of your choice into a rectangular shape, always with the right side inward.
• About a third of the top layer must be turned down, so you get the so-called central fold.
• Next, unfold the napkin on the other side. Both edges need to be folded so that they are connected in the center.
• Do the same again.
• In the resulting pocket, put the necessary cutlery.

Cutlery in an “envelope” made of burlap, decorated with a bow and decorative lace, looks very original. However, most often such envelopes are sewn.

You can also fold napkins on your own in the form of:

• bunny;

• a flower (the simplest is a rose);

• peacock;

• bow;

• pineapple and lotus (suitable for very festive tables).

It is not uncommon for housewives with skillful hands to bring beautiful figures to life using the origami technique. Decorating a table with such inventions is a whole art that will be appreciated by every guest.

Often folding napkins is not difficult, but in order to avoid difficulties, it is best to use ready-made schemes that can be found on the Internet and in special magazines.

• Creating a Beautifully Served Table may require not only time, but also patience. If you have already chosen how to lay out the napkins, do not forget to arrange the dishes, cutlery, glasses and glasses correctly as well. Table etiquette in this case plays a very important role. It cannot be ignored, otherwise all efforts with napkins will be in vain.

• Don't be afraid to experiment. Feel free to bring your most unusual ideas to life. Try to create your own figurines using different types of textiles and paper products. Use not only monophonic options, but also with various patterns and patterns.

• If you want to please your guests and show them what a good hostess you are, buy only high-quality cloth napkins, which will emphasize the whole sophistication of your holiday table. The most profitable and practical are products made of cotton and satin. They are not only pleasant to the touch, but also perfectly retain their shape. Linen napkins are rather capricious during washing, but they are no less popular than all other types of fabrics.

The textiles or papers you choose should match perfectly with the tablecloth, as well as other table decorations such as flower vases.
