Necktie

Decorating with cloth napkins

	The Necktie Napkin Fold Now your guests can wipe food off of their expensive ties with... inexpensive ties! Isn't that special? This one's easier with limp napkins, but if you only have stiffies then an iron will make this simple to do. Remember that the larger the napkin is, the longer the tie will be.
	1. Lay the napkin face-down and orient it so that one of the corners points to you.
	2. Starting at the upper tip, fold the right side about 1/3 of the way diagonally to the left. Don't press the fold down yet.
	3. Repeat the last step with the left side and then adjust them both if needed so that both sides are symmetrical. Now press down the folds.
	4. Fold the right side in about 1/3 of the way starting from the upper tip, similar to what we did in the last two steps. Don't press it down yet.
	5. Repeat the last fold along the left side and adjust for symmetry. When you're happy with the shape of your tie, press the folds down.
	6. Fold the upper 1/3 of the tie diagonally to the right so the tip of the tie is perpendicular to he lower part.
	7. Turn the tie over so the tip is now pointing left.
	8. Wrap the tip around the top of the tie and tuck it in underneath to create the knot. There you are, your very own clever necktie napkin!

Shirt Napkin

	The Shirt Napkin This is a neat fold to have sitting on your guests dinner plates, and it's pretty easy assuming that you have an iron. I repeat, break out the iron! Iron, iron iron iron iron iron.
	1. Lay the napkin face-down in front of you.
	2. Fold the two right corners of the napkin diagonally so the tips rest at the center.
	3. Fold the two left corners of the napkin diagonally so the tips meet the other two in the center.
	4. Fold the right side over so it's edge rests on the napkins center-line.
	5. Fold the left side over to meet the last fold at the center-line of the napkin.
	6. Turn the napkin over.
	7. Fold the top 1/4" - 1" down and press it with your iron. This will be the collar of the shirt.
	8. Flip the napkin over again.
	9. Fold both upper corners in diagonally, so the points meet in the center at an angle to form the front collar of the shirt.
	10. Take hold of the two corners in the center of the napkin's near side and fold them up and out diagonally - so the edges are almost parallel to the folds at the far end. These will become the sleeves.
	11. Take hold of the near end of the napkin, and fold it up towards the collar, tucking it underneath the lower points of the collar and pressing it down. A tiny shirt to stain with dinner, yum!
