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. 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 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.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, CANDLE FAN FOLD
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 was called the Candle Fan fold and is a mixture of Recipe #241855 and the fan Recipe #241005. Stylish and easy and a mixture of two serviette sorts in a style that will be new to many people who you try it out on.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette out flat and square before you.
- Bring the top and bottom right corners into the top and bottom centre of the serviette so that there is a vertical line running down the middle. Repeat with the left top and bottom corners. You should have before you a tall rectangle with a vertical gap running down the middle.
- Place your finger in the very centre of the serviette where the two flaps meet each other. With your other hand take the top right flap and pull it to the right, going past the top of the rectangle so that it make a triangle shape a little like the flap on a collar. Repeat with the top point on the left side. It now looks like the collar on a shirt with rather a wide neck at the back.
- The next step involves making a mirror image of the last step at the bottom, if it's easier then carefully turn your serviette around do that the collar is at the bottom upside down and then just repeat the previous step at the top as before. Once all four flaps are completed you will have before you a rectangle that has 4 triangles radiating out from the centre a little like a windmill.
- Starting at the bottom upside down collar part, take the bottom left and right edges and roll them as tightly as you can up to the centre of the serviette.( I set a glass on mine to keep it there while I did the next step).
- Turn the entire serviette around to the that roll is at the top and the collar bit of the top half is now upside down at the bottom.
- Accordion fold the bottom bit up to the centre (it will meet the roll at the middle).
- Now gather both ends (without letting it all unfold) and the roll should be in the middle.
- Place it into an empty water or wine glass and fan out the accordion fan bits at each side. So easy!

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.

PLEASE NOTE, There is an error in the photo sequence...counting from the top, photo 8 (diamond shape, loose flaps at south position)can be completely disregarded, it's up the wrong way and causes confusion, just skip to the next photo and go on...Thanks Heather Feather for pointing it out for me :) I have also amended the instructions to make the steps clearer.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
- Fold the serviette in half so that you have a long thin rectangle before you.
- Take the top right corner and bring it down to meet the centre bottom point of the serviette. This produces a triangle shape on the right side. Repeat with the left side so that you now have a triangle shape before you with a gap running down the centre.
- Take the bottom right point of the triangle and fold it up to meet the main point at the center, repeat with the bottom left point. You should have before you a new diamond shape with the loose points at the top.
- Take the right top flap and bring it accross and down so that what *was* the centre crease is now on top of the bottom right edge of the diamond shape. Repeat for the opposite side. The top of your serviette now resembles a rather stretched W form in it's outline.
- Gently take the two bottom points of that W form and fold them backwards to meet each other. Your serviette will have a thicker side on the left with 4 layers and a single crease on the right.
- Slip your serviette ring onto the base of this and bring it about half way up. Rotate the napkin to face you and gently pull out the two side flaps so that they are even. The center part will have a pleat down the middle. Arrange a little so that everything is as symmetrical and pleasing to the eye.

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.

Tips
- Start with a square napkin: This will give you a clean and even fold. If your napkin is not square, trim it to size before you begin.
- Make sure your napkin is crisp: A crisp napkin will hold the fold better than a limp one. If your napkin is wrinkled, iron it before you fold it.
- Fold slowly and carefully: Don't rush through the folding process. Take your time and make sure each fold is precise. This will help you achieve a neat and professional-looking result.
- Experiment with different folding techniques: There are many different ways to fold a napkin. Don't be afraid to experiment with different techniques until you find one that you like.
- Use a variety of napkins: Don't just stick to one type of napkin. Try using different colors, patterns, and materials to create a unique look for your table.
Conclusion
Napkin folding is a simple way to add a touch of elegance to your table. With a little practice, you can master a variety of different folding techniques. So next time you're setting the table, take a few extra minutes to fold your napkins. Your guests will be impressed!
