Exquisite and stylish table setting is an indispensable attribute of any feast or celebration. One of the key points in creating a festive atmosphere is decorating the table with napkins. With their help, you can not only effectively decorate the table and dishes, but also set color scheme and the mood of the event itself. To fold simple figures, no special equipment or special skills are required. In addition, in addition to the aesthetic properties, napkins also have a purely utilitarian practical application.

Peculiarities

There are two types of napkins used for serving: paper and fabric.

1. Fabric products intended for individual use, they are laid out near or on top of each guest’s plate so that it is convenient for him to unfold and place the napkin on his lap at the beginning of the meal.
2. Paper models should be placed so that guests sitting nearby can easily reach them if necessary.

Usually both varieties are shaped like a square, so general principles the folding for them is not very different. The main difference between paper napkins is their greater fragility and smaller size, which does not allow the production of some particularly complex figures.

The main advantage paper napkins is their availability and richness of colors and textures, which allows them to serve the table in any situation.

Properly serving napkins to the table is an art that requires taking into account a number of points. The color, shape and overall creative concept must correspond to the theme and style of the event, in harmony with the tablecloth and dishes on the table. Also important is the ease of addition.

No matter how elegant the shape, the main purpose of a napkin on the table remains its direct practical purpose, so the guest should not spend a lot of time pulling out and unfolding the napkin.

How to fold it yourself: master class

Rolling paper napkins into beautiful and unusual shapes is not as difficult as it seems. Of course, as in any other matter, in order to achieve mastery, it is recommended to go step by step - from simple option to the complex. But the charm of origami allows you to create true masterpieces even with a minimum of effort. Even children can make simple decorations, this process develops fine motor skills, increases intelligence and allows you to turn the chores before guests arrive into a real family holiday.

To make decorations from napkins, it is best to use ready-made instructions – diagrams that describe the stages of work step by step and various ways folding. Often beginners are lost, not knowing how to read such diagrams, but in reality everything is quite simple: dotted line folds are indicated, straight lines are cuts, and arrows indicate the direction in which the paper is folded. A semicircular arrow symbolizes a fold in the indicated direction, a zigzag arrow indicates the z-type of fold known as an accordion, and an arrow that curls in the middle into a ring indicates the need to turn the product over.

There are two main ways to decorate a table with paper napkins: put an individual figurine on each plate for each guest or put several pieces in a napkin holder.

Both can be designed in an interesting and creative way.

There are napkin holders different forms, but the main one among them is the classic semicircle. However, a scattering of napkins can be placed in any available utensils: glasses, glasses, small flowerpots or even a simple plate.

The basic rule that should be followed is that the corners should stick out in such a way that the products can be easily reached without destroying the entire structure.

• The most common and widely known figure is single or double fan. To create it, each napkin should be folded in half to form a triangle, and by placing the resulting triangles on top of each other, shifting the outer corner by about one centimeter, form a fan. A single fan is folded from the central triangle to the edges, and a double fan is formed in two rows directed towards each other. The accordion folding method also looks interesting. The napkin is assembled into an accordion in increments of one or two centimeters, folded in half and inserted into the napkin holder.

• You can simply place a napkin in a glass using method of rolling into a tube. In this case, the napkin is folded in half, positioned base down and neatly rolled up, starting from the right corner. For convenience, it is recommended to first wrap the napkin around your fingers. The upper third of the resulting tube is bent, after which the product is placed in a glass.
• Interesting and in an unusual way The arrangement of paper napkins in the napkin holder is "bird". The opposite corners of a square napkin are bent a few centimeters, after which the part is bent in half with the curved corners inward, and a trapezoid is formed. The bird's tail is formed from several nested and slightly extended trapezoids. The head is made from a napkin rolled into a tube, the tip of which is slightly bent to the side. This model will look especially advantageous if you use napkins for the tail. different colors.

• If you use an ordinary wide cup as a napkin holder, you can make an original and bright "two-sided waterfall". In this case, the napkins are unfolded so that the original square becomes a rectangle, which, depending on the size of the dishes, can be folded lengthwise one or two more times. The rectangles are stacked on top of each other, leveled and folded in the middle. The middle is recessed in the cup, after which all that remains is to straighten the hanging sheets. Origami figures placed on a plate can be divided into two types. One includes direct figures - flowers, animals, leaves, while the other type includes napkin-pockets in which you can wrap or put cutlery, fresh flowers or branches.

• Napkins are very popular among children and youth in the form of rabbits. The napkin is folded in half twice, edges up, resulting in a long, narrow strip. The edges of the strip are grabbed and simultaneously bent down so that an angle is formed at the upper middle point of the strip. Next step One by one, the lower edges are folded toward the center, and then folded in half, forming the ears. Then the central upper triangle is bent back, and one of the ears is tucked into the pocket of the other, after which all that remains is to turn over and smooth out the rabbit.

• Another interesting way – fan folding. The napkin unfolds and folds in half so that front side ended up outside. Next, about three-quarters of the length, a not very large accordion is made. The next step is to bend the origami in half, the tail that is not folded like an accordion is bent inward, and the figure is placed on the surface.

• To make envelope, it is advisable to take larger and denser napkins. The napkin is laid in a diamond shape so that the corner with single layers faces to the right, then it is folded in half twice and unfurled back to the diamond. Then take the topmost layer of the napkin on the right and bend it in half three times so that as a result it passes through the middle line of the figure. The next layer is folded twice In a similar way, reaching the middle line, after which the figure is turned inside out and turned to a square. The sides of the square are bent towards the middle, the figure in last time turns over the other side, and an envelope with two pockets is formed.

Table decor experts believe that the color scheme and method of folding napkins should match the theme of the event. And if for friendly party or feasts in narrow circle Simply serve paper napkins in a napkin holder or glass, then set the table for gala event and the reception of guests follows more refined figures.

An important point is the color scheme:

1. For a children's party or youth party a good option There will be bright plain napkins or products decorated with an interesting gradient, cheerful print or pattern.
2. Family celebration will be decorated with restrained pastel and beige tones.
3. For an official event, it is preferable to choose plain models or napkins with a minimal, strict print.

Thematic colors do not lose their relevance. On New Year The red-green and burgundy-gold tones look win-win, traditional spring colors are shades of pink, light green and blue, and autumn is associated with crimson, sunny yellow and a shade of ocher. For romantic dinner It’s better to stay with classic white, red and pink tones. However, atypical combinations can become the highlight of the evening, the main thing is not to overdo it with experiments.

It is better to fold napkins in advance, because, despite the apparent simplicity, this process takes quite a lot of time.

You should practice in advance and roll several napkins the day before to remember the folding methods and the features of creating the shape. As a last resort, if there was no opportunity to train, the planned form does not work out or there is simply no time left, the simplest of possible ways is to place napkins in a stack on a plate.

For greater aesthetics, you can lay each subsequent product with a slight shift, so that the result is a multi-pointed star.

Such an easy and elegant method will not only help in Hard time, but it will also look quite decent, not inferior to exquisite serving options.

Beautiful examples and options

Despite the fact that there are a number traditional schemes and the options that are usually used for table setting, if desired and with proper preparation, you can use paper napkins to fold almost any figure from the huge arsenal of origami. Of course, you will have to invest a lot of time and effort, because such work can only be done by a person who already has experience in creating origami.

This option is simple to implement, but guests like it. The layout starts from the tail of the bird. To do this, you need to choose bright, rich colors napkins. Plain colors will also work, but the bird will look less impressive. Manufacturing sequence:

• Each napkin has two parallel corners folded. Fold the napkin in half. It turns out to be a trapezoid - one part of the tail. Continue working until the required number of such parts is available;
• make the head and neck. To do this, the napkin must be folded several times, forming a flat tube. The top part of the tube must be bent to form a head;
• All parts are placed in the holder.

This interesting layout method is suitable for any celebration. The bird symbolizes warmth and homeliness. This figure is especially relevant during the celebration of the New Year, the symbol of which is the rooster. Rich colors They will also decorate the festive table at a child’s birthday. A bright napkin holder will attract the attention of little guests and delight the birthday boy.

On a note!

Before looking for patterns for folding napkins, you need to determine where they will be placed. This could be a napkin holder, a glass, a plate. Based on this, the addition option will be selected.

Schemes at the plate

A flower in a glass looks very elegant. There are several options for making roses. The simplest one includes the following steps:

• unfold the napkin and fold it into a flat tube from the corner;
• the upper corner is folded and the tube is rolled into a bud;
• the “petals” of the resulting flower are slightly bent;
• you can wrap the flower in a napkin Green colour, imitating rose leaves;

Three fold patterns for a ring and a scarf for a fork

Rings are a good idea for decorating fabric napkins. In the first two cases, an elegant bow is made. To do this, the napkin is folded to form a strip. The edges are folded towards the middle, slightly overlapping each other. The resulting part is threaded into a ring, which serves as the middle of the bow. The edges are slightly stretched. The elegant bow is ready.

In the second option, instead of a ring, a plain color is used satin ribbon. They tighten her middle. Instead of rings and ribbon, you can use a durable foil strip. It securely fixes the workpiece, preventing the fabric figure from deforming.

The simplest, but effective solution- scarf on a fork. To make it, a cloth napkin is folded into a strip. The strip is folded in half. The fork is placed on top of the workpiece, the edges of which are wrapped around cutlery and thread it through the resulting loop. Lightly tighten. A simple and elegant scarf is ready.

This magical origami craft made from a napkin on a table can be placed in the central part as a decoration.

Paper napkins appeared more than half a century ago and have since become a fixture in our lives. Different in color and structure, they not only help to maintain cleanliness, but also decorate any lunch or dinner.

What are they for?

In addition to their decorative function, napkins have a very important role– keeping hands and face clean. Therefore, no matter how beautiful the composition of paper products looks, if necessary, you need to use it. As a rule, they are combined with fabric napkins, which are laid out on the lap, while paper ones are placed on the table in stands specially designed for this.

Terms of use:

• Those who do not use napkins look sloppy in the eyes of those present, so their use is mandatory.
• It is strictly forbidden to tuck them into a belt or collar. If you need to wipe your lips, you need to take one napkin, fold it in half and blot the dirt.
• Fingers are wiped while stroking; in no case should you unfold the napkin completely or wave it over the table.
• Paper products are disposable, so they cannot be reused. That is, if necessary, you need to get new paper every time.
• Used items should be crumpled and folded under the right edge of the plate, and after the meal, put on the plate along with dirty cutlery.

Laying methods

You can and should use napkins not only during formal dinners. They should be on the table at any meal. Especially for such cases, there are napkin holders that do not require effort or time to fold. You just need to open the pack, take out the napkins and place them as they are - in a neat stack. Some models have a holder that will help them maintain a neat appearance.

Don't think that this styling method is suitable for daily use. If the overall serving style is minimalistic, then it will be quite appropriate.

Most napkin holders found in everyday life are classified as flat. They are designed for a small amount of napkins, but using imagination and dexterity, you can increase their number, making it at the same time aesthetically pleasing. There are several ways to do this:

• Fan. To do this, bend each napkin diagonally to form a triangle. You will need about 15-20 of these triangles, depending on the width of your napkin holder. You can form a fan by folding the resulting figures into a stack and carefully moving it to the side or laying them on top of each other with a slight offset (about a centimeter) so that they have a common angle. Then you should install the resulting fan in a napkin holder.

• Double-sided fan. The principle of its manufacture is the same as that of a simple one. Simply, instead of one fan, we fold two and install them so that the vertices of the triangles look in different directions. If this or the previous method seems too simple to you, any flower or bow that you can make using an origami pattern as a basis will help revive the composition.

• Crown. One of the simple schemes, which is based on the same nine triangles folded from napkins. We place three pieces at the edge with the fold inward and add three to the center. You can take more, the main condition is the symmetry of the teeth.
• If the napkin holder itself is of decorative value, you can simply fill it with napkins folded diagonally. For example, in the form sails
• Bird. The napkin must be folded diagonally, first bending two opposite corners inward. The resulting blanks are not completely inserted into each other. Another one needs to be folded into a strip about a centimeter wide, starting from the corner and forming a head. It is better to use paper products of different colors to make the bird look more elegant.

There are many napkin holders. Surely everyone has seen a form that came from the Soviet era called “leaf”, where napkins are stacked on top of each other, taking the shape of a cone. In a modern version, they can look completely different, for example, like a book or a dancing girl.

The last option is convenient because it has separate slots into which each triangle is inserted.

What can be replaced?

It happens that those needed in this moment things break or simply don't exist. In this case, do not be upset, since you can use other utensils as a napkin holder.

You can fold napkins in a plastic or glass glass or other round, low container with a wide neck as follows:

• Roll them into a cone or horn shape in layers. The free corner of each subsequent layer can be combined with the previous one or shifted to the side to make it more convenient to handle.
• Make the cones narrower and place them next to each other.

• The napkins can be unfolded in one layer to form one large square. Then they should be rolled tightly along one side and placed in a container next to each other. The quantity should correspond to the width of the glass or cup so that it stands level and does not fall. If the resulting tubes seem too long to you, they should be folded in half and installed in this state.
• More interesting tubes will become if the unfolded paper surface is rolled up, starting from the corner. Then it will resemble a candle. It can be placed personally in a glass or narrow glass.
• Make a fan or a peacock out of them. To make a fan, you need to fold the straightened canvas like an accordion, bend it in half and place it in a glass. The same blank can be the tail of a peacock. For his neck and head, you need to fold two corners towards the middle so that you get a rhombus. Fold the sides of the corner in half again and tuck the outer corner inside. Fold it in half again lengthwise and bend the head back. Attach to the tail.

If you have a low square bowl, use it. To do this, fold the napkin in half. Stacked pieces with a height equal to the width of the container are inserted into the bowl so that they hang over the edge in a cascade. If you divide them into two parts, you will get a nice fountain.

A saucer or vase with rosebuds will become a real table decoration. To create them you need to follow the instructions step by step:

• Lay the napkin in one layer and fold it diagonally.
• From the folded point, wrap it once or twice at your discretion, so that the material remains to form the leg.
• The folded strip will be the bud; it needs to be rolled up and the rest twisted to form a stem.
• The top of the bud needs to be slightly straightened, giving the shape of a flower.
• The resulting roses should be placed in a suitable container. You can make leaves from green napkins, but the flowers look impressive even without them.

It’s good when everything is perfect in a person! And in the kitchen too.

In expensive restaurants, the seemingly mundane procedure of folding napkins has turned into real art: instead of simple napkin holders with modest paper napkins, tables are decorated with fancy paper and linen “sculptures”: lush fans made of paper napkins, elegant flowers from fabric napkins, all kinds of “stars”, “swans” and so on.

Most ways to fold napkins - be they paper or fabric - turn out to be quite simple, and today we will get acquainted with the most in beautiful ways folding napkins to decorate the table.

How to fold cloth napkins

The procedure for folding fabric napkins and decorating a holiday table with them, unfortunately, is somewhat more complicated and requires much longer preparation. To begin with, fabric napkins need to be prepared - they need to be carefully ironed so that there is not a single wrinkle. And then start folding:

• Lay the cloth napkin on the table and fold it in half so that the edges match exactly.
• Starting from one edge of the napkin folded in half, gather it into folds approximately 2-3 centimeters wide - in the end you should end up with a kind of “accordion”.
• Hold the folded napkin with one hand, with the other, place a special holder ring on its lower part and pull it up (the ring should be approximately 3-4 meters from the bottom edge of the napkin).
• Spread the folded cloth napkin to form a wide “fan”. Also straighten the bottom end of the napkin so that this base holds the napkin in a vertical position. Insert the folded napkin into the napkin holder.

To make folded napkins look really beautiful, you can decorate the napkin holder with fresh flowers.
