Party Hat Napkin Fold

This is a pretty easy napkin fold to create, it looks a little harder than it truly is.  It is great for an informal setting where you would like a little whimsy on your table.

Start with a flat napkin.

Fold in half to create a rectangle.

Fold the upper corner down at the midway point.

Fold the lower corner up at the midway point.  It should look like 2 triangles side by side.

Carefully turn it over, all folds should be on the bottom and will look like a trapezoid.

Fold downward in half leaving a small triangle on the upper left.

Pull the point out from underneath the napkin to create a long point facing down.

Fold the left corner towards the center dividing the left triangle in half.

Fold the long triangle up to create a peak.  It should be the same height as the small triangle on the left.

Fold the right side of the napkin in half, creating a half triangle to match the left side.  Carefully turn the napkin over.

Tuck the left corner into the pocket on the right.  You can either lay this napkin flat or stand it up.
