turkey napkins for the holidays on a plate

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 hopefully a you-tube video, all to help you discover the secrets behind the fold. Today I will be sharing the Thanksgiving Turkey fold.

Thanksgiving Turkey Napkin Fold for the Holiday

The Christmas Tree was actually my first foray in seasonal napkin folding. Imagine my delight when I realized I could turn this into a turkey.  OK you may need to squint but it really is a Thanksgiving bird. 2020 is going to be my year of the Napkin fold.  What else keeps us entertained during covid,  Tables and Napkins and pretending we are entertaining. 
 
The Turkey Fold 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.

How to Create  a Turkey Napkin


One of the most popular folds to date has been the Christmas Tree for the holiday table, well today I am turning that on it’s side and creating a new turkey.  This is a simple fold that works well on a casual or a formal table.

Do you change your table?  Are you a season embracer?  I love changing my table regularly.  Today I am embracing the fact I get to celebrate a second Thanksgiving at least on the blog. In Canada I celebrated with a burlap table in October.  

Today I am sharing a fun napkin and contemplating what new table I can create. Maybe something in teal to give the world a splash of colour.  Stay tune for the new reveal.

    I love napkin folding! It’s the easiest and cheapest way to elevate a table setting. This Thanksgiving will mark my 20th different fold, another version of a turkey using green two napkins. Thanks for sharing yours and the easy to follow instructions.
