Behold the Fold! | Father's Day Napkin Idea

Get inspired by Dad's favorite shirt. This easier-than-it-looks napkin art will take your Father's Day fiesta to the next level.

What You'll Need:

  • Cloth napkins 
  • Iron/Ironing Board

Instructions:

1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you (iron if necessary). 

Lay napkin flat on the table

2. Fold the two right corners of the napkin diagonally so the tips rest at the center.

3. Repeat with two left corners. Your napkin should form a square. 

Fold all of the corners in. Your napkin should form a square

4. Fold the right side over to meet the center of the napkin.

5. Repeat with the left side. Your napkin should now form a rectangle.

Fold each side over to the middle. Your napkin should form a rectangle.

6. Turn the napkin over. 

7. Fold the top 1/4" - 1" down. 

 

8. Flip the napkin over again. 

9. Fold both upper corners in diagonally, so the points meet in the center at an angle to form the front collar of the shirt. Press with an iron. (You may need to place a heavy object on top of the fold for 1-2 minutes.)

 

10. Take hold of the two corners at the opposite sides of the napkin. Fold them up and out diagonally. The egdes will be almost parallel with the edges of the collar. These will become the sleeves. 

 

11. Grab the sleeve end of the napkin, and fold it up towards the collar.  

 

12. Tuck it underneath the points of the collar. Press with an iron.  

 

13. Add your napkin origami to the center of your plate/place setting. 

14. Get reasy to wow your guests at your Father's Day celebration!
