Folding a Christmas tree for Christmas
No one can avoid this motif at Christmas time. The fir tree as a symbol of vitality is as much a part of Christmas as a good meal, contemplation and presents. The Christmas tree napkin is therefore ideal for the big table. The tree fits particularly well into the Advent season with all the family and company Christmas parties. This fold adds extra Christmas flair to the table decorations. The Christmas tree can be placed on or next to the plate. Standing or lying down - it makes a great impression on your table setting. With a little practice, a Christmas tree can be folded from a napkin in a flash.
Our tip
You can decorate the finished Christmas tree with a cinnamon stick as a trunk and a star-shaped cookie.
Which napkin is suitable?
If you are folding a Christmas tree, you should choose a suitable color for the napkin. Dark green is classic here. Other colors also work: white, beige or red harmonize just as well with the Christmas theme as metallic tones. A tree in silver or gold will definitely impress your guests. In chic restaurants, the fabric version is a must. The choice of fabric can be a little more elegant during the Advent season. A beautiful sheen is an advantage. Fabric Christmas trees make for a particularly elegant Christmas table. A paper napkin is permitted where it fits in with the catering concept. They should not be too thin. Single-colored, high-quality cloth napkins are preferable.
