Top 100 Step-By-Step Napkin Folds - by Denise Vivaldo (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A gorgeous table begins with beautiful napkin folds.

Knowing how to execute a perfect napkin fold is not a skill everyone has, but it's one you can easily and quickly teach yourself. Napkin folds bring a touch of elegance, whimsy or retro style to your table. And napkin folds take your table setting to the next level with no added expense -- you're just learning dozens of clever new ways to present something you already have.

The 100 folds are divided into easy, intermediate and advanced sections, so you'll know which ones to start with and how to work your way up. Simpler is often better and often the most formal folds, in fact, tend to be relatively easy. And when you're using napkins with an elaborate pattern or design, a simple fold may show it off the best.

The hundreds of step-by-step photographs, detailed instructions and wide array of ideas will make every event memorable -- whether it's a child's birthday party or a sophisticated dinner party for grownups. And the concealed wirobound hardcover format with its user-friendly approach makes following instructions a breeze.

Like a handwritten thank-you note, napkins folds might be less common than they once were, but they're always noticed, always appreciated and always in style.
