Process of Rolling Silverware in a Linen Napkin

• Whichever color you have chosen will be just fine. It is very important that the napkins are square in shape in order for the silverware to fit perfectly.
• Also in order for the napkins to hold the utensils, the napkins must be of a high quality so that they won't tear apart.

Step 2

• Start by positioning the napkins on a flat surface.
• Make sure that there is a corner of the napkin that faces the edge of the table. It does not matter what edge of the table, any of the edges will do.
• Before going to the next step, double-check that your napkin is laying flat on the table.

Step 3

• Now it's time to place the cutlery. The knife will go diagonally making sure the point of the knife passes the point of the napkin by about a 1/2 an inch.
• The knife is the key element to placing your silverware because it will be the guide for the rest of the cutlery in making sure they all fit correctly to avoid any falling out.
• When the knife is placed perfectly, you can now place the spoon and fork over the knife. Make sure it is the fork that is first directly on top of the knife. This will give you a nice and sturdy pile. All handles should be even with each other and bottoms touching.
• Double-check the silverware to make sure it stays in place.

Step 4

• For the first fold, you are going to fold the bottom corner right across the bottom ends of the silverware.
• To make sure the cutlery does not move out of place, use your other hand to hold them down as you fold the napkin across. This will assure they are in place.

Step 5

• Lastly, fold one of the side corners over the silverware and roll them into the linen napkin. Make sure everything is folded tightly.
• Roll your silverware one last time to secure the wrapping. And that is it - at this point, your silverware should now look nicely wrapped!
