Serviettenapkin Folding The Fleur De Lis Recipes

Steps:

• Lay your serviette flat before you in a diamond shape.
• Take the point at North and fold it down to meet the point at South. You will now have a triangle in front of you where the crease is at the top and the point is facing the South position.
• Take this South point and fold it to the North, going past the middle centre of the top line so that you now have a strip at the bottom if the serviette and a triangle sticking out at the top of the strip.
• Turn the serviette carefully around so that it is now vertical and starting at the bottom end of the long strip, accordion pleat all the way to the other end of the strip at the top. Hold firmly so that it keeps its shape.
• Carefully set the base of the serviette into a wine or water glass (the base is the thicker bit at the bottom) and when you let go you will have a tall pleated triangle at the top and two pleated triangles hanging down at the sides.
• Arrange the pleats to that they are even and neat.

Steps:

• Lay your serviette out flat before you in a diamond shape.
• Bring the corner at the South point up to meet the North point. you should have before you a triangle shape with the crease at the bottom.
• Fold the East point of the triangle up to meet the North point, repeat with the West point. You will now have a diamond shape with a vertical gap running down the centre.
• Take the South corner and bring it towards the North point but stop 3/4 of the way up, crease it well at the bottom now then take the same point and bring it back over itself to the bottom center of the triangle.
• Carefully turn the serviette over and tuck the East/West points into each other.
• Turn serviette over to the front side and gently fold down the two side flaps, creating a Fleur de Lis type of serviette that has a the addition of a decorative cuff at the base.

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a diamond shape.
• Fold the South point of the diamond up to meet the North point of the diamond.
• Fold the East point up to meet the North point of the diamond and repeat with the West point.You will now have a smaller diamond shape with a vertical gap running down the center.
• Carefully turn the serviette over.The point that has the open edges should be in the South of the diamond position.
• Fold these South points up to meet the North point, you will now have a triangle shape with a horizontal gap in the center.
• Turn the napkin over again and bring the East and West points into the center, tucking them inside each other.
• Turn the serviette over again and gently fold down the two outside flaps to make the petals of the Fleur-de-lis.

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.
