How do I make a decorative napkin fold?

Rosette Napkin

For the most effective presentation use a large cloth napkin for this fold.

Open the napkin completely. Take the left and right sides and fold into the center until they almost touch. Leave a 1/2" opening along the center.

Pleat the entire length of the folded napkin accordion style at least 8 times. Folds will be approximately 1/4 of an inch wide.

Pinch the center, and hold in place with a small piece of pipe cleaner. Spread out the pleats to form a round rosette.

Place a single flower bloom in the center where the pipe cleaner is. A rose, carnation or daisy works nicely for this.

Place the entire rosette flat on a dinner plate of a contrasting color for the most dramatic affect.
