Time to get the Christmas display ready for the library. It's Christmas table settings and I wanted to add some extras to each setting. I washed various napkins and hung them out on the line. Figured drying that way would make them just a little stiffer. Carefully ironed them and then fired up the Internet. Found instruction on how to fold a napkin into a crown shape (looked more like a fleur-de-lis to me) and tucked a little holly in it's pocket. That will look nice for the formal china setting. Got my origami skills going and folded a green napkin into a Christmas tree. Great for the Northwoods-patterned stoneware. I did a simple accordion fold w/ the blue napkin, stuffed it through a napkin ring, and fanned it out on either side. That will go perfectly w/ the informal pattern on another setting. Turns out folding napkins into various shapes is actually pretty easy. Might be something to consider w/ all of the holiday get-togethers coming up.
