Lacy Fan Napkin Fold Tutorial

I like thinking up new ways to fold napkins and this is what I came up with for the tablescape I shared yesterday.  It's very easy to do!

I began with these vintage lace doilies which roughly measure 12" x 9" .  You could cut strips of lace or use a wide lace ribbon to get the same effect.

Fold a portion up so that it's about 6.5"-7" 

Fold a contrasting colored, 16"-18", dinner napkin in half twice to make a square and lay at an angle over the lace.  

Fold in each side about an inch or two.

Fold in half

Turn it over

 And use your thumbs to hold each side and create one fold at the center, so that there are three even folds.

Then slip a ribbon underneath

And tie it tightly and you're almost done!

Now set a pretty table with your newly folded napkins!

These posts have some pretty napkin folds that I have been asked about doing as well, so you might want to take a look.  Only a couple have the tutorials but I put the links anyway in case you want to see the whole table.  The rosebud fold I found on YouTube but Yvonne at Stone Gable has a tutorial for these also.  They are really pretty!
