How to Fold a Napkin Into a Rose



This is a lovely gesture for a date, a dinner party guest (as a table decoration), a young child...anyone, really! Just grab a paper napkin (or tissue, or paper towel) and follow these steps.

Steps

  1. Unfold the napkin completely.


  2. Fold the top down about two inches.


  3. Hold the upper left corner between your fingers.


  4. Begin to wrap the napkin around your fingers. Start out by going behind your fingers.


  5. Continue wrapping the napkin rather tightly around your fingers.


  6. Stop wrapping when there are about two inches left. Fold the corner upwards.


  7. Finish wrapping.


  8. With your other hand, start tightly twisting the base of the rose. Once the base is secure, you can pull your fingers out gently.


  9. Keep twisting until you get about halfway down the stem. At that point, find a corner of the napkin and pull it gently so it sticks out. Then continue twisting until the rose is finished!

Tips

  • You can make several and tie them together (or put them in a cup) to create a bouquet.
