How to Fold a Bird-of-Paradise Napkin
Step 1:
Fold a large napkin twice so that it's a square, and press. Now fold this square in half diagonally--to form a triangle.
Step 2:
Fold the sides of this triangle in toward the middle - the bottom points will extend beyond the bottom of the original triangle.
Step 3:
Tuck the bottom points under so they're even with the original triangle, and press flat.
Step 4:
Fold the triangle away from you, so that these smaller triangles are hidden inside the fold.
Step 5:
Now, carefully pull the napkin's corners up and out so that they look like the bloom of a bird-of-paradise.
