Sharing is caring!

Last Updated on 2021-02-27 by Linda

We all know how much I love tablescapes and napkin folding, well hold on to your hats because I have a few more seasonal folds for you.  I have created a step by step tutorial and a you-tube video, all to help you discover the secrets behind the fold. Today I will be sharing the Christmas Tree.

I already shared the Christmas Elf Hat and the Christmas Elf Shoe. The Tree is currently the most popular napkin fold on Google and Pinterest, and it is one of the easiest.

Christmas Tree Napkin Fold for the Holiday

The Christmas Tree was actually my first foray in seasonal napkin folding. I found it on Facebook last year and I just had to try it, not sure why I never shared it but this year I have corrected that error. 2016 was my year of the napkin over the Christmas Season. I started with the Christmas Elf Shoe, I swear that one became my favourite seasonal fold even  replacing my Fall Rose napkin..  
 
The Christmas Tree is not too difficult, a few more steps than some of the others but very easy to learn and it looks fabulous on your table.  It is also one of the view that can work with any type of napkin. And allows many variations. The tree looks amazing laying flat or standing up.  And it also can be glammed up with a few decorations, just like a real tree. And changed into a turkey if you want.
