To fold a napkin into a rose bud, follow these simple steps:
- Fold the napkin in half diagonally, forming a triangle.
- Fold the two corners of the triangle (the points on either side of the top point) up to meet at the top point. This will create a diamond shape.
- Turn the diamond shape over to the other side.
- Fold the bottom portion of the diamond approximately 2/3 of the way up.
- Turn the napkin around so the folded part is facing away from you. Bring the two bottom corners together and tuck one corner into the other to secure them.
- Stand the napkin upright on its base. Adjust the folds to resemble a rose bud.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
| Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Diagonal Fold | Create a triangle by folding the napkin in half diagonally. |
| 2 | Fold Corners to Top | Make a diamond shape by folding the two bottom corners to the top. |
