Today's blogpost marks my first 2016 Thanksgiving post! We will be making more napkin art, similar to last year's Turkey Napkins/Napkin Holders, so you can have tons of napkin variations!!!! Also, in that previous post, I did a whole place setting decor, so check it out! Now onto the craft!
This will be a million times easier with a paper napkin (it has to be square), and I'm not sure if it would work with a heavy fabric one, but feel free to try it if necessary! Other than a napkin, tape is optional to secure it, and the silverware will go inside.
Most paper napkins come folded in fours (one large square folded in half one way, then folding that in half the other way, making a smaller square), so depending on the size of silverware you use will affect the size your napkin needs to be. For plasticware, leaving it small will work even better, but for regular silverware, it has to be unfolded all the way into a giant square.
From here on, all steps should be the same. On one side of the square, fold the side over twice about an inch (or way less if making the smaller napkin), to create a cuff. Now flip it upside down, so the cuff is pressing against the table. On the parallel side from that, fold both bottom corners up at an angle so there is a point at the bottom side. Now, roll up the napkin into a cone shape with the point on the end as the point for the cornucopia. Take the point, and roll it up a few times, hold it tight for a few seconds, then let go and it should curve up. If the cornucopia is too weak and doesn't "stand up" shove another crumbled up napkin into the cornucopia. Now place the silverware inside! If any of this if it doesn't stay, either put it under something heavy or use clear tape.
That's all for this week! Happy holidays!
