Napkin Artistry: The Candle

My hubs and I learned how to make "The Candle" on our honeymoon cruise in a Napkin Artistry session. It was one of the highlights of the trip...I guess I'm a dork. There were others but this was the one that really stuck with me. 
It's an easy way to fancy up your table and...it's easy to remember! 
These can also hold your silverware for you, stand up on the plate (depending on the stiffness of your napkins)...they're easy to be creative with. So have fun. 

Step One: Right side down, make a diamond shape.

Step Two: Fold in half, upwards. (pretty side is showing now)


Step Three: 
Fold up about 2 inches...sometimes they look fun when you do a thick piece at the bottom. 

Step Four: Flip it over! Then begin rolling across...don't forget to flip it!


Step Five: Roll all the way to the end, but leave this little flap out. 

Step Six: Tuck the flap into the pocket....see step 4 if you don't have a pocket...gotta remember to flip. :) 

Step Seven: If you want a true "candle"...at the top peel back one piece of napkin to add some flare. 

Voila! The Candle. 


Pretty cute! 

You could also put a flower in each one...right off the bat I'm gonna say Zinnia's would be lovely.
