Discover How to Make an Envelope Style Double Napkin Folding

Introduction:

Discover how to make a double napkin folding shaped like a letter with double flaps. You’ll be shown all the steps needed to create the fold along with superb pictures to help you along the way. The double envelope is similar to the envelope fold but there’s just one tiny variation – there are  two layers instead of one in the seal flap

It’s a quick fold to make and an easy one at that. This is a good napkin fold for beginners to start. Also, you’ll need a square napkin that could either be cloth or paper.

Have fun learning this fold. And we hope that you’ll be able to set up a fantastic table with this napkin fold!

Step 1

Fold the Napkin Twice

And then fold the napkin for the second time by bringing the bottom edge towards the top. Good job! It's now time for the next steps.

Step 2

Make the First Seal Flap

Extra Tips

  • Make it personal; insert the menu or a small note between the layers of the letter napkin fold. This would make a sentimental yet sweet addition to any occasion.
  • You can iron the napkin first and even starch them. This could greatly improve the looks of your cloth napkins.
  • It’s best to place the envelope napkin in the middle of the main plate. You must make sure that the left and right tips are at the same height and point toward the viewer. If the menu card, food, or something else is placed in the center of the main plate, you could put it at the top left side.
  • This is a simple fold. But the execution is important even if this is a simple and quick fold to make. So be precise, and don't lose focus.
  • Enjoy the learning process. Remember that folding napkins could be a relaxing experience. We hope you enjoyed making this letter origami napkin. We have other letter envelope napkins you can learn about on our website! Just browse through our napkin catalog located above. Happy Folding!
