SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, CELEBRATE WITH CANDLES!
My interest in serviette folding was born on a wet day at my Grandmother's house, I was a pre teen and helping her with the ironing and watched while she ironed serviettes into wonderful shapes and neatly stacked them for use. I asked her to show me how and she did. Once you know several folds and people see them, they often have at least one other that you haven't seen before, you gain knowledge of the new one and on it goes. Now that I have already posted all the napkin folds I know, I decided to look on the net for some new ones to learn. This one is another very easy fold and it's called the Candle fold.. very suitable for Birthday Parties!

Steps:
- Lay your serviette out flat before you in a diamond shape.
- Take the corner at South and bring it up to meet the corner at North. You will have before you a triangle shape with the crease at the bottom.
- Take the two points at North and bend them forward South but only go one third of the way down the serviette. This will make a tiny triangle at the top that faces downwards.
- Fold the little triangle towards South again, only one third of the main serviette will be showing at the bottom now. Then fold the strip over again towards South so that the top now meets the bottom edge at South. (You should have folded the triangle downwards 3 times in all) This results in a long thin strip that has two little triangle points sticking out at each end.
- Take hold of the little triangle at the left end of the strip that you have and fold it under and backwards under itself so that the point sticks up (this will be your candle "flame").
- Now start to roll up the long strip, starting at the end where the left triangle has been folded backwards. Roll the strip up to the end, tucking the last part under and into the roll at the base of your candle.
- Voila ! a Candle serviette/ Napkin ! -- and how easy was that!

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, SIMPLE STANDING FAN
Between the teachings of my Grandmother, an Aunt, my Mother and several restaurants I learned a lot about serviette/ napkin folding.. Works well with cloth napkins, or larger paper ones. I have included step-by-step photographs to illustrate/supplement the written directions. For neater presentation use ironed napkins for this fold. Once I had loaded all the serviette folds that I knew well here, I decided to learn others that I hadn't yet mastered, and this one was excellent because while it is a tried and true restaurant favourite, I never used it while in the three restaurants I worked in. So now was my chance to learn a new one! I had fun and I hope that you do too.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette out flat and square before you.
- Take the top and bottom left hand corners and fold them over to the top and bottom right hand corners so that you now have a vertical rectangle before you, with the crease on the left.
- Starting at the bottom left and bottom right corners, accordion fold the serviette upwards to just past the half way point of the rectangle. (ironing the folds helps them to keep their shape).
- Now take the right side corner edge of the accordion folded strip and fold it over to the left side corner edge of the accordion strip so that the strip is now folded in half. There will be a square shape that is folded in half hanging out at the back.
- Holding the folded accordion pleats firmly, take hold of the top right corner of the square flap at the back (this corner has two open points, no fold line) and fold it over to meet the bottom left point of the square (right next to the accordion fold where it is folded in half), it should overlap the bottom of the square just a little.
- Now take that little overlapping flap and tuck it under the bottom of the square, that should secure things so that the serviette will stand up well.
- Carefully stand the serviette up and fan out the accordion pleats, the square part will be at right angles out at the back and stabilizes the fan as it stands up.
- Present it standing on a plate.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, SIMPLE FAN VARIATION
My interest in serviette folding was born on a wet day at my Grandmother's house, I was a preteen and helping her with the ironing and watched while she ironed serviettes into wonderful shapes and neatly stacked them for use.

Now that I have already posted all the napkin folds I know, I decided to look on the net for some new ones to learn. This one is a variation on the Simple Fan and is prepared the same way but finished differently for a new effect, like the Simple Fan, ironing the completed accordion strip gives better definition to the final serviette. Cloth serviettes can be ironed into the accordion shape in advance and stacked tightly into a shoe box ready for use. You will need one serviette ring per serviette.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you.
- Take the bottom right and left corners and make an accordion fold strips all the way up to the top right and left corners. If you press these with an iron the pleats will be nice and sharp. Leave unironed for a wavy casual look. (but ironed looks neater) You will now have a thin band the width of your accordion fold.
- Fold the serviette in half so that is is now half it's length and slip a serviette ring over the fold end of the accordion strip and pull gently about 1 inch ( 2.5 cm) up.
- Fan out the accordion pleats at the top to make a pleasing balance to the serviette. Present on a plate.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you. Fold it in half horizontally.
- Take the serviette and fold it in half again vertically so that it is now a small square a quarter the size of the origonal square.
- Only one corner of the square will have 4 open / loose edges, rotate your square so that it is a flat diamond shape with the open corner pointing downwards. We will call this the South corner, and the top corner opposite North.
- Grasp your serviette about 2/3 of the ways up and starting at point that is on the East side of your serviette, make 5 folds or pleats more or less the same size, folding/ pleating towards from the East point to the West point.
- Slip your Serviette Ring over the north point and gently pull downwards so that only the top 1/3 of the serviette goes though the ring. Keep the north point of the serviette nicely centered.
- Spread the bottom half out the serviette into a fan formation so that both halves are equal and it looks pleasingly balanced.The top of the serviette should taper gently up to the North point and if wanted a small flower can be inserted into the fold at the top and down into the napkin ring.
- Place on empty plate.
