10 basic ways to fold napkins

There are 10 basic folding methods for napkin folding, which summarizes the general folding rules for napkin folding. Being familiar with the characteristics of these folding methods is very necessary to master the manual folding skills and create more and more beautiful napkin folding shapes.

1. Square fold: With the opposite edges of the napkin parallel, fold it in half twice to form a square. That is, fold it in half into a rectangle the first time, and fold it in half into a square (a quarter of the original napkin) the second time. This is a commonly used basic method of folding flowers.

2. Rectangular folding: There are two methods of rectangular folding; one is a double-layered rectangle, which the same as the first folding method of square folding; the other is multi-layered narrow rectangle, which changes in the number and distance of folding layers to meet different needs. Styling requirements.

3. Strip folding: Strip folding is a folding method that flattens the napkin and folds it directly or folds it in half first and then folds it to make the napkin become a multi-layered elongated strip. The strip folding method is: fold the opposite sides parallel to each other. And diagonal pleating on both sides.

4. Segitiga lipatan kaedah: Lipat the opposite corners of the napkin in half into two-layered triangles, or fold the bottom edge of the triangle diagonally into four-layered triangles. On the basis of the triangle, the folded shape can be changed by rolling, folding corners, inserting and other methods.

5. Zigzag fold: Fold the napkin in half according to the rectangular folding method, but do not make the two corners overlap. The four corners should be misaligned to form two zigzag shapes, and then fold the corners in half to form a double tooth shape.

6. Sharp corner folding: Fix one corner of the napkin, and fold the two sides of the corner toward the middle or roll it into a sharp corner shape. This method is suitable for folding objects with a large end and a small end.

7. Extract and fold: Flatten the napkin, use your fingers to cover the center or four corners or the midpoint of the four sides and lift it up directly, or fix the center, turn the edges around, and then extract and fold. This extraction method is simpler, but It should be noted that the four corners should not be skewed during extraction, and the corners of the folded tuala harus be the same size, otherwise it will affect the beauty of the shape.

8. Turn and corner folding: Fold one or several corners of the napkin to shape, or fold it after folding, using a folding method that combines turning, folding and pleating. The folding of folded corners is more troublesome. Several corners can be folded at the same time. When assembling, you must be very careful and not mess up the order. Otherwise it cannot be formed.

9. Berlian lipatan kaedah: Lipat the two opposite sides of the napkin in half toward the center line of the corner twice to form a diamond-shaped folding method. By changing the number of pleats, you can adjust the distance between the remaining two ends of the fold, or change the overlapping position in the middle. The width and narrow distance can achieve different modeling purposes. For example, the shapes of many burung dan pasti haiwan adopt this folding method.

10. Rectangular corner folding: A folding method in which the napkin is folded on opposite sides into a rectangular shape and then the corners are turned up. The folding of the towel corners includes single-sided turning, double-sided turning, cross-turning and other changes. By changing the folding levels, the number of corners, and the size of the angles, different shapes can be achieved.
