Folding Santa boots
Pre-Christmas time means decoration time. Fragrant fir branches, flickering candles, enchanting bells, shiny Christmas baubles, twinkling stars and various nuts transform your tables into a little winter wonderland. The matching napkin fold should not be missing! How about a cute Santa boot? Even if the folding technique seems a little more complicated, it is easy to do with a little practice and fits into any setting. The fold can be placed on or next to the plate. Your guests will love the original fold. Fold cloth napkins into boots and welcome young and old to your restaurant, especially on St. Nicholas Day!
Our tip
Tie a little bell around the shaft and put a little surprise for your guests in the top of the boot!
Boots made of fabric or paper? Colorful or plain?
You can use the classic Christmas colors for the boots. White, red and green napkins go just as well as the more festive versions in gold or silver. The color scheme of the rest of the table decorations should always be taken into account. Bold patterns are not suitable. Fabric and paper are both possible materials. The paper can be a little thicker so that it does not tear when folded. The fabric should not be too stiff so that all the steps can be carried out effortlessly. Napkins printed on one side are not recommended for folding into a boot because the front and back are visible.
