The rose napkin fold is one of our favorite folds. Despite coming across as intricate and fancy, the rose napkin fold is not that difficult to do when it comes to cloth napkin folding. This fold is perfect if you are looking to impress your guests or if you are looking for a fancy, ornate table setting. This design works well with most of our cotton and linen dinner napkins. For best results, it may help to first iron your napkins thoroughly with starch to ensure a more rigid fold.

You can not create folded roses from paper napkins, mind you! This tutorial is exclusively for creating the perfect fabric rose for your table.
