Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time to start planning your dinner table décor! One great way to add some personality to your place settings this year is with these adorable pumpkin napkin folds. Check out the step-by-step guide below for a simple and fun way to spruce up your table.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you get started, gather all the supplies you’ll need:
- Napkins (1 per person)
- Green pipe cleaners
- Small green leaf decorations (or cut some out of green paper)
- Small twig or cinnamon stick
- A plate or charger to hold your pumpkin napkin fold
Step 2: Fold Your Napkin
Start by folding your napkin in half to form a triangle. Make sure the pointed end is facing away from you.
Step 3: Bring the Corners to the Center
Take the left and right corners of the triangle and fold them so they meet at the top corner, creating a diamond shape.
Step 4: Fold the Edges in Again
Next, take the right and left corners of the diamond shape and fold them inwards towards the center. They should meet at a point in the middle.
Step 5: Fold in Half
Now, fold the entire napkin in half so the bottom corner meets the top corner. The folds you made should be on the outside of the napkin.
Step 6: Add the Stem and Leaves
Use a green pipe cleaner to wrap around the napkin, about one inch down from the top. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together at the back of the napkin to secure it in place.
Attach a small twig or cinnamon stick to the top of the pipe cleaner to create the pumpkin stem.
Finally, add a small green leaf decoration to the base of the stem. You can use a store-bought decoration or cut out your own from green paper.
