Bird of Paradise Napkin Fold

This napkin fold will add a touch of whimsy to your table and really make your guests wonder how you did it.  This fold is a little more time consuming to create.

Start with a flat napkin.

Fold napkin in half to create a long rectangle.

Fold napkin in half again to create a square.  Rotate it to a diamond shape with the four corners at top.

Fold the bottom points underneath to create a triangle, the loose corners should all be on top.

Fold the right side of the triangle down the middle.

Fold the left side of the triangle down the middle as well.  

Fold the points underneath to create a triangle.

Fold in half.

When looking down you should see the loose points in the middle of the fold.

Hold the wide end of the napkin firmly and pull the points up one at a time.
