How to fold a napkin?

There are many ways to fold a napkin depending on the occasion and your personal preference. Here is a simple way to fold a basic napkin:

1. Lay the napkin flat on a table in front of you, with the right side facing down.

2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally, bringing the top corner down to the bottom corner to form a triangle.

3. Take the left corner of the triangle and fold it up towards the top point, so that the point of the left corner lines up with the top point of the triangle.

4. Repeat step 3 with the right corner of the triangle, folding it up towards the top point to form a smaller triangle.

5. Flip the napkin over and fold the two corners towards the center of the napkin, so that they meet in the middle.

6. Flip the napkin over again and fold it in half from top to bottom, so that the folded edges are at the bottom.

7. Stand the napkin up on its folded edge and shape it as desired.

This is just one example of how to fold a napkin, and there are many other creative ways to fold napkins depending on the occasion and your personal style.

And if you don't feel like folding the napkin on your own, you can also use a napkin ring to do it quickly and put it on the plate in a very refined way.
