Creating cutlery pockets from a napkin is a simple and impressive technique that can greatly enhance the aesthetics of the table setting. How to do it? First of all, choose a napkin of the right size - preferably square and made of a material that holds its shape well, such as high-quality paper.
- Start by laying the napkin flat on the table.
- Fold the napkin in half, forming a rectangle.
- Then fold it in half again, this time along the shorter side to make a square.

- The next step is to fold the sides of the napkin. Fold the left side to the center, and then repeat the same with the right side, overlapping them. The resulting shape should resemble a rectangle with a triangular pocket on top.
