Trade ReviewEvery time I go to a fancy restaurant or event, I always admire the beautifully folded napkins. Well... now I can re-create the designs at home for myself. I always thought they were difficult to achieve, but with a bit of practice and patience, this book shows the techniques required to fold and tease the napkin into something simple, delicate or even a bit more adventurous.
40 folded napkins are created. Every event is catered for and there is one for every mood. I discovered there is also something mindful about folded fabric, I loved the learning process and this is a book that makes it easy.
Functional and decorative, these creations are a work of art.
