Doblar servilletas para adornar la mesa

Preparando el menú de Nochevieja, pensé en doblar las servilletas de forma distinta. A todos nos gusta ver una mesa elegantemente dispuesta, incluso tratándose de una cena  familiar como es mi caso. Detalles, como unos sencillos reposacubiertos, los platitos del pan, la vajilla-cristalería reservada para ocasiones y, por supuesto, el mantel con sus servilletas, nos permiten variar el ambiente del comedor en función de la celebración.

Buscando en internet, encontré una página con más formas de plegado de servilletas de las que me  esperaba:

The Crown cloth napkin fold

The Crown Napkin Fold

Do you want your dinner guests to feel like royalty but have no red carpet? Treat them like kings and give them all crowns! Then you can use this napkin to wipe the cheese out of that introduction.

This napkin folding design just doesn’t work well without a little starch in the cloth, if it’s sagging it’s ugly so take your time and get it right.


Napkin Fold #1
1. Lay the napkin face-down in front of you.
Napkin Fold #2
2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally.
Napkin Fold #3
3. Orient the napkin so the open ends are pointing away from you.
Napkin Fold #4
4. Fold the right-corner up so that the point rests directly on top of the middle-corner. The edge of this new flap should lay on the center line of the napkin.
Napkin Fold #5
5. Repeat step four on the other side, bringing the left-most corner up to meet the middle-corner, creating a diamond shape.
Napkin Fold #6
6. Fold the bottom of the napkin up about 2/4’s of the way and press this fold down well.
Napkin Fold #7
7. Fold the smaller triangle down so the point rests on the near edge of the napkin. Press.
Napkin Fold #8
8. curl the left and right sides of the napkin up so they meet in the middle and tuck one into the other.
Folded Napkin
9. Stand it up and tug at it where needed to even it up and round it out. If your napkins are too limp then think of starch as napkin viagra and make them good and stiff.

The Goblet Lily Napkin Fold

The Lily Goblet Fold

Here is an elegant goblet fold similar to the bird of paradise. A slightly starched or stiff napkin works best for this one and an iron can make the work much easier to do.


Napkin Fold #1
1. Lay the napkin face-down in front of you.
Napkin Fold #2
2. Fold the napkin in half and orient the open end toward you.
Napkin Fold #3
3. Fold the napkin into quarters.
Napkin Fold #4
4. Accordion-fold the entire napkin from corner to corner, keeping the open ends at the top.
Napkin Fold #5
5. Fold the napkin in half as shown.
Napkin Fold #6
6. Tuck the napkin into the glass of your choice.

7. Using your fingers, gently pull apart the loose corners sticking up so they are evenly distributed. If you’re flaps don’t want to stay where you put them, then ironing a little starch into the napkin will help.
