2. Place the folded edge at the top.
3. Fold down the right point to the bottom point.
4. Fold down the left point to the bottom point.
5. Fold the napkin in half by bringing the bottom point
under the top point. To make it stand, lift the napkin at the
center of the bottom edge so it rests on the two side
edges.

B. The ROSE
1. Lay the napkin flat in front of you.
 2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally.
3. Roll the napkin with the longest side near you, roll the
triangle up until it reaches almost at the top.
4. Roll up the tail edge. Take the end of one tail and roll
until it reaches the end of the other tail. When you're done
rolling, tuck the free end of your napkin into the small
pocket created at the bottom. The napkin will look like a
rose.
5. Shape the two inside flaps. Inside your creation, there
should be two flaps: pull one to the left and the other to the
right.

you.
2. Fold the napkin into quarters.
3. Fold the top-most layer of the napkin in half diagonally -
up and to the left.
4. Fold the next layer of napkin diagonally up and to the
left, stopping slightly before the last fold to create an even,
staggered effect.
5. Repeat by folding up the next layer of napkin to a point
just before the last one.
6. And one last layer. Keep them as uniform as you can.
7. Now fold both sides of the napkin under and in to create
an even, staggered diamond effect on the napkin. press
down as flat as possible.

D. The STANDING FAN

1. Fold the napkin in half and orient the open end towards
you.
2. Fold the napkin like an accordion starting at either
narrow end. Leave one end with 2-3 inches of unfolded
napkin to support the standing fan.
3. Fold the napkin in half with the accordion folds on the
outside.
4. Grasp the unfolded corners where they meet on the
open end and fold them in diagonally, tucking them under
the accordion folds.
5. Open it and stand it up.

2. Orient the napkin so the long side is on the left.
3. fold the far corner of the napkin diagonally towards you
and to the right so that the crease falls an inch or two short
of the right-most corner and the newly formed point at the
bottom is a few inches to the right of the left one.
4. fold the right-most point towards you, pivoting at the
same place the last fold pivoted.
