How to Fold a Napkin into Heart Shaped Pocket

       Hi Friends!

         Here's a easy way to fold napkins for your Valentine's table.
     

I used cloth napkins, but just so it will be easier for you to see

I'm going to explain the folds with paper...ok?

Napkins are square, so our paper is square.


Fold in half


and fold again lengthwise


fold again just to make a crease.


Fold upward, making a point at the bottom.


Then on the other side.


Flip over this is the pocket.

Yeah! see the heart yet?


oh no fuzzy!

A third of the way across, fold down corners to the back.


How cute!


Back to the napkin!



Give it a good press with a hot iron if the napkins give you trouble.

Looks good on the plate-

I added silverware, but of course you could add a gift or candy to your pocket.




I have a couple Fiesta Ware plates in pink and red that I plan to use.



I hope I explained that well!

Thank you so much for letting me share with you today-

    Love this idea. I am saving it for next year. We celebrated Valentine's Day last Saturday. A bit early, but convenient for our family.
