The art of folded napkin beasts

birdnapkin.jpgLooking for a way to wow your Christmas dinner guests that doesn't involve you setting fire to something or juggling with clove-encrusted oranges? How about a bit of table origami to set off your festive table top?

Gone are the days when a simple triangle or fan napkin would do the job of making your table look trendy. These days it's all about turning a simple square of cloth into something that will make folks reluctant to unfold it so they can dab gravy off their chin.

The Folding Napkin Origanimals by Diana Eng are ever so lovely to behold. They're stitched with coloured-thread instructions for ease of use in four different animal: Bunny, Snail, Bear and Peacock.

The original napkin set was available online though it seems to be tough to track them down now. Helpfully this tutorial on Craft gives great instructions on how to create Diana's Rabbit Napkin without buying the kit.

Add a bit of napkin beast to your table setting. Go on.
