SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, ORCHID
My interest in serviette folding was born on a wet day at my Grandmother's house, I was a pre teen and helping her with the ironing and watched while she ironed serviettes into wonderful shapes and neatly stacked them for use. I asked her to show me how and she did. Once you know several folds and people see them, they often have at least one other that you haven't seen before, you gain knowledge of the new one and on it goes. Now that I have already posted all the napkin folds I know, I decided to look on the net for some new ones to learn. This one was called the Orchid and you will need one serviette/napkin ring per serviette. PLEASE NOTE, There is an error in the photo sequence...counting from the top, photo 8 (diamond shape, loose flaps at south position)can be completely disregarded, it's up the wrong way and causes confusion, just skip to the next photo and go on...Thanks Heather Feather for pointing it out for me :) I have also amended the instructions to make the steps clearer.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
- Fold the serviette in half so that you have a long thin rectangle before you.
- Take the top right corner and bring it down to meet the centre bottom point of the serviette. This produces a triangle shape on the right side. Repeat with the left side so that you now have a triangle shape before you with a gap running down the centre.
- Take the bottom right point of the triangle and fold it up to meet the main point at the center, repeat with the bottom left point. You should have before you a new diamond shape with the loose points at the top.
- Take the right top flap and bring it accross and down so that what *was* the centre crease is now on top of the bottom right edge of the diamond shape. Repeat for the opposite side. The top of your serviette now resembles a rather stretched W form in it's outline.
- Gently take the two bottom points of that W form and fold them backwards to meet each other. Your serviette will have a thicker side on the left with 4 layers and a single crease on the right.
- Slip your serviette ring onto the base of this and bring it about half way up. Rotate the napkin to face you and gently pull out the two side flaps so that they are even. The center part will have a pleat down the middle. Arrange a little so that everything is as symmetrical and pleasing to the eye.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette out before you in a square shape.
- Take the bottom left and bottom right corners and fold them up to meet the top left and top right corners.You should have before you a rectangle with a crease at the bottom.
- Take the bottom left and bottom right corners and fold them halfway up the serviette, so that it meets the horizontal centre line in the middle if the rectangle.
- Bring the top let and right corners to the center as well, and now you should have before you a long thin rectangle with a horizontal gap running across it.
- Carefully fold this strip in half ( lengthwise) again, so that it it is now a very narrow strip.
- Place your finger slightly off center at the top of the strip and take the right edge of the strip with your other hand and fold it downwards so that a short centre line is created in the middle of the strip and the rest hangs down below.
- Now take the left edge and turn it backwards and down underneath itself so that the two ends are parallel at the bottom.
- Now take the left end again and twist it under itself again so that the loose flap points out in the opposite direction of the first flap. I found that a little loosening of the knot was necessary and a small amount of rearrangement needed so that both ends of the serviette were more or less the same length.
- This produces a very chic knot, great for both formal and informal settings.

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 original 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 loose edges pointing upwards. We will call this the North corner.
- Take the topmost of these points and make a relatively tight roll towards the South position, at about the half way point you won't be able to roll any further and you will have a diagonal neat cuff going east/west across the diamond shape.
- Now take the next loose corner at North and gently bring it South, tucking it underneath the cuff that you just made in the previous step but leaving a pleat showing above, the same width of the cuff below. You will now have two diagonal neat cuffs/pleats going east/west across the diamond shape.
- Then take the next loose point at North and bring it to the South position, and still holding the point, start rolling it under itself heading towards the North position, at about the half way point you won't be able to roll any further and you will have a third horizontal neat cuff going east/west across the diamond shape that's next to the second one.
- Rotate your diamond shape so that the North point is now the top right corner and you have a square shape in front of you with three diagonal pleats running from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
- Gently turn the serviette over and bring the top right and bottom right corners into the center. Repeat with the top left and bottom left corners.
- Turn back to the front side and you will have a very neat rectangle that has three diagonal pleats running across it.
- An elegant and stylish serviette that will impress any guest.
