How to fold napkins for an elegant table
Christmas has always been the domain of decorations and festive trappings, but if you want an elegant table, it is better to adopt minimal creative solutions for the mise en place. You can fold your napkin in a simple and sleek way, tie it with a ribbon and decorate it with a sprig of mistletoe.
Or, for a 'WOW!' effect, you can create a fan-fold. Simply fold the napkins into an accordion shape, fasten with a ribbon and add a poinsettia flower. The effect will be amazing!
Essential but chic: how to fold napkins for a simple table.
For a simple yet festive table, we suggest an easy solution. Fold the napkins into the shape of a pocket, forming three diagonal folds into which you can insert cutlery and even a small sprig of good-luck holly. If you prefer a more understated style, fold the napkin into a rectangle and simply wrap it with a Christmas ribbon to which you have added a small red ball or a golden star. The magic of Christmas is served!

Unique shapes to make with napkins for a ''wow'' effect!
If you want to impress your guests with unique shapes, there is no shortage of ideas for Christmas napkins. Among the most surprising is the Christmas tree-shaped napkin. It is not difficult to make and you can find many tutorials on the web. To make the trunk, use a rolled-up piece of wrapping paper or a cinnamon stick that will make the table even more special with its scent.
Another impressive idea is the Christmas star: very easy to make, it is perfect for getting the children involved as well. Take a red napkin and unfold it to form a large square. Then fold the corners towards the centre to make a smaller diamond-shape. Fold the corners towards the centre again to make another square. Turn the square upside down and place the folds towards the table. Fold each corner back towards the centre to form a diamond-shape, in the middle of which you place your finger, lift one corner slightly towards the centre and turn the tip upwards from underneath. Do this for all the corners. Our Christmas star is ready! For a final touch, place a nut or your favourite decoration in the centre of the flower. Your guests will be speechless!
Decorating the Christmas table: practical tips
Are you ready to create the most beautiful and magical Christmas table ever? Well, keep these simple rules in mind:
1. Tradition is good, but add a touch of creativity
2. Make your own decorations for the Christmas table
3. Choose quality in every detail!
If you follow these simple rules, it will be easy to make your table the real star of Christmas. Use your creativity to choose a theme you want to be inspired by and be consistent. Remember that every detail must be perfectly thought out and harmonise with everything else: if, for example, you have chosen an original centrepiece, be sober in your choice of plates and glasses. Have fun creating! Play with colours starting with the shade of the tablecloth, add small details to your table such as pine twigs, red berries or small ornaments, make a personalised homemade place card. Go for quality! Choose a nice linen or pure cotton tablecloth, and let it drop at least 40 cm. Embellish the table with stylishly folded cloth napkins.
With our suggestions, it will be no arduous task to decorate your Christmas table to perfection, although the most important secret to making your dinner unique and unforgettable is always the same: put your heart into it!
