We gave oursevles a challenge: to come up with an Asian inspired tablescape only using what we had or what we could find - for free. To see the finished table click here. This is the napkin fold that we chose for each setting. This would be great for a little girl's birthday party as well. Each napkin could be a different color or pattern. |

Start with a freshly pressed and starched square napkin. We were concerned at first about the fancy detail on one corner, but it turned out not to be a problem.

Turn the napkin over, so that the tip of the triangle is pointing toward you. Now take each top corner and fold them down so that they meet in line with the tip. Press.

Turn the napkin over again this time top to bottom. Unfold to two flaps underneath. This leaves a pocket about 2/3 of the way up.

If you pinch the long side of the napkin, this forms the body of the butterfly, and will cause the bottom wings to separate.
