STEP BY STEP SERVIETTE /NAPKIN FOLDING , 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" and the other two remaining corners East and West.
• Fold the South corner up, so that it meeting and laying on top of the North corner. Your serviette is now in the form of a triangle.
• Gently crease the bottom ( east /west line) of the triangle well.
• The South corner consists of 4 seperate flaps, take only the outer-most of these and fold it back south again, expect that the crease line should be about 1/2 inch (1 cm) HIGHER ( but still parallel to) the bottom ( east/west) straight edge of the triangle. This leaves a thick triangle on the top and a very thin, one paper layer, smaller triangle on the bottom.
• Take the next layer of the loose flap at North, and fold it south, with it's crease line about 1/2 inch (1 cm) ABOVE the crease line from the first folded down flap. Now you will have a smaller triangle folded down in the South position on top of the first one.
• Repeat Step 7 until all four flaps are folded down, pointing South in triangles on top of each other, the one on the bottom will be the biggest and the one on the top will be the smallest.
• Carefully pick up the serviette and bring the East and West corners together at the back, then carefully crease firmly the fold that runs from the center of the top main triangle to the point at North.
• Turn the serviette around and set the finished serviette onto the table with the North point closest to you on the table, with East and West points on the table furthest away from you and the South points pointing up into the air up the center.
• Works best wih heavier paper serviettes.

• Take the narrow edge at the right and fold it upwards along the center line of the serviette so that the end sticks out at the top. Repeat with the left narrow edge and you should have before you a shape that is square at the top and pointed downwards at the bottom.
• Take the top right corner and fold it under so make a cut off top on the right side.
• Repeat with the top left corner so that it looks like both the top corners are missing.
• Now go to the join in the center top of the serviette and take the left loose edge and carefully fold it under itself. Repeat with the right loose edge in the centre of the serviette and hey Presto! a Heart shape appears ! Place flat on the plate of someone you love.

• Take the top two corners and fold them 1/3 down so that the top two corners are level with the fold line that you made in the previous step.You now have a rectangle in front of you.
• Place your finger in the centre top point of the rectangle and with the other hand take the top right hand corner of the rectangle and fold it to the center bottom of the rectangle, but continue past the bottom of the rectangle so that you have a vertical straight line running down the center and a small flap sticking out that the bottom. Repeat with the left side of the serviette.
• Then fold the bottom two flaps back on top of themselves so that they are level with the bottom of the rest of the serviette. You will have before you a thin rectangle shape on the bottom and a triangle on top of it and there will be a vertical gap in the center of both of them.
