STANDING FAN NAPKIN FOLD
If desired you can use starched napkins and iron the folds for sharper creases.
Step 1:
Lay the napkin out flat.
Step 2:
Fold the left half over so the fold is at the left.
Step 3:
Begin accordian folding at the bottom. Make each pleat about 3/4"-1" wide.
Step 4:
Pleat only about 2/3 of the napkin.
Step 5:
Fold the right side in half, underneath.
Step 6:
Fold the top left corner down at an angle. On the right side the edges should stick out about 1" past the fold of the napkin.
Step 7:
Fold this 1" overlap under to secure the pleats and make the "stand".
Finished Fold
Let go of the pleats and let the fan out. Adjust folds.
