Summer is a time for easy entertaining, but that does not mean that we can’t make it pretty, too! Today I’m sharing two of my favorite summer napkin folds! All are so easy and attention-grabbing. Fold cloth or paper napkins; it really doesn’t matter. Just make them pretty!

Fleur De Lis Napkin Fold

The easy napkin fold can be used year-round, but I think it looks best on a summer table. The Fleur de Lis napkin fold will accent any table perfectly!  Here is how you can make one.

step by step napkin folding instructions

Step 1

Fold the napkin in half horizontally.

Position the folded edge at the bottom.

Step 2

Fold the bottom left-hand corner up to a point.

Step 3

Your napkin will look like a diamond.

Step 4

Fold the top points out to make wings. Slip the bottom point of the napkin into a napkin ring. Adjust as needed.

This is a very attractive, casual napkin fold for any occasion this summer.

    These look so easy! I have a group meeting at my house in July and don’t have enough of the same napkins to use. Do you think it would be alright to use different napkins if they have similar colors? It will be outside and the tables will be spread around the back garden. I’m always unsure about mixing fabrics. Thanks
