The Art of Table Napkin Folding: A Bishop's Hat Technique Tutorial

Napkin folding is an art form that lends sophistication and elegance to formal lunch or dinner parties. The designs can serve as great conversation starters for your guests who are no doubt bound to be impressed. An example of one such design is the Bishop's Hat. Joyce our Safari Restaurant Hostess will take us through the steps involved.

1.Spread the napkin on a smooth surface, wrong side up.












2. Fold the napkin into half away from you
3.Take one corner and fold it towards you, forming a triangle
4. Take the other corner and fold into a triangle away from you
5.Carefully flip the napkin to the other side, and fold it into two
6.The fold should release the corners creating two overlapping triangles.
 7.Lift and flip the napkin to the other side, take your left side and tuck it into the right triangle
 

 
8.Flip the napkin to the other side and repeat the process. This is how it should appear 

9.Balance the napkin upright by widening the base, and you have your Bishop's Hat.

 
 Thanks Joyce!

Tip: One can substitute the cloth napkins with paper and turn it into a fun project for the kids.
