Napkin flower

A wonderful decoration of the festive table will be a beautiful lotus made do-it-yourself napkins. This flower can be not only an ornament, but also a napkin holder.

To make such a decoration, you need the following:

1. Red napkins - 40 pieces.
2. Red napkins - 4 pieces.
3. Thin wire - 10 cm.

Production Sequence:

• To get started, make blanks. Take a green napkin and open it so that only one addition remains. Fold the resulting rectangle along and open again.
• You should get a rectangle with a fold in the middle. Bend the corners of all four sides to the center.
• The sides also bend toward the center, and again in half. Thus, you should get a narrow rectangle with corners on the sides.
• With the rest of the green napkins, do the same.
• Take the red napkin and, without opening it, fold it in half so that you get a triangle.
• Put it with the top away from you, fold the side corners to the center with the sides. And bend the corners below, from the back. Follow the same steps with all other red napkins.
• Start forming the base of the lotus. Take the green napkins and fold them together. Now, to outline the middle, add their total mass in half, but not pushing too much on the bend - we need it only for reference.
• Now in the center, fix the napkins with wire and put them on the table with the long side of the corners up - these will be the leaves of the flower. Spread them so that they lie in a circle evenly.
• Start collecting petals. Take the red napkin, fold it in half with the bent corners inward. Insert the resulting triangle into the green leaves of the water lily, and straighten the upper part so that a volumetric petal is obtained - it will be easier to insert the subsequent ones from above.

Important! Insert the corners of the petal so that one is in one sheet and the other in the other. So the composition will stay better and there will be no gaps. So do the first row.

• Follow the next four rows in the same way. You should get a beautiful and magnificent lotus.
