To make the trifold napkin, lay a square napkin on a flat surface.
Fold the napkin in half vertically to make the base of the trifold napkin.
Fold the napkin into a smaller square
The next step is fold the bottom edge towards the top. At this point, the napkin is one-fourth its original size.
Orient the napkin in such a way that it has one corner in the top and one corner in the bottom like a diamond.
Divide the napkin into three sections
Fold the right corner towards the middle.
And then fold a portion of the right flap towards the right again.
Do the exact same thing that you did on the right side to the left side.
Flip the napkin over to the other side. Be careful not to undo your fold. The napkin should now look like it is divided into three.
Rotate it 180 degrees. You have finished making the dragon-inspired trifold fold!
Extra Tips
- Make sure to keep an eye on symmetry. A simple fold that is executed well is better than a complicated fold done poorly!
- There are many ways to display this dragon shaped trifold napkin on a table setting. Like many other folded napkins, it’s best to place the 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.
- Iron your cloth table napkin first! No guest would want to be presented a wrinkled napkin on their plate. If you're in a pinch you can use tissue paper napkins for this easy paper napkin folding.
