Reseña del editor

This title includes more than 150 inspirational ideas for folding, decorating and embellishing napkins. It explains how to use napkins in specially styled settings for themed weddings, festive and family celebrations, picnics and supper parties. Over 700 stunning colour photographs show how to create the designs yourself, with every stage illustrated step-by-step. The 150 napkin folds and designs are each illustrated with step-by-step photographs and easy-to-follow instructions. The folds are graded from simple compositions that can be put together quickly to more complex folds that require starching and pressing. There are folds suitable for every occasion, from children's birthdays and picnics to cocktail parties, weddings, and large-scale family celebrations. You might choose a French lily for formal dining, a clown's hat for a young child, a lover's knot for a special Valentines dinner, or a cable for outdoor entertaining. A comprehensive introduction provides a fascinating history of napkin usage and etiquette. For those who want to make their own napkins for a specific occasion, advice is given on the types of fabric to choose. Details are provided on how to launder and press napkins, to keep fabrics in top condition.
