Doing a Google search for "how to fold fabric napkins" at the last minute before your guests arrive is a good way to stress yourself out quickly. Instead, try this easy folding method to highlight your pretty napkin rings, and set the scene for a delicious meal.

3. Fold the top point of the triangle down about half way.

4. Fold the bottom edge up, covering the triangle tip slightly.

6. Fold the right edge up at an angle.
