fold away.

Napkins are an inexpensive and simple way to make a table pop. Add tasteful folding and you have the perfect place-setting accessory! Helen, my-craftier-than-I mother, has the book Napkin Folds by Bridget Jones and Madeleine Brehaut hanging around the house - so I delved in to explore the possibilities. It's probably best if you start with a freshly pressed, square cloth napkin, however, in order to get the crisp edges on the pinwheel I found a fun paper napkin to use instead. If I can do these you certainly can too!

I am so excited to jazz up my next dinner party!!
