Folding a simple cutlery bag
A cutlery bag can be folded quickly and easily from a napkin and is suitable for any occasion. The all-rounder is a simple and good way to integrate cutlery elegantly and practically into the table decoration - next to or on the plate. The napkin also serves as storage and protection for the cutlery and can be unfolded and used by guests for cleaning. The cutlery bag is perfect for outdoor use: weighted down by cutlery, the napkins can also be placed on or next to the plate without being blown away by the wind. Many different variations make the cutlery bag a real all-rounder. Here you will find the plain and simple version of the cutlery bag that suits every occasion.
Our tip
In addition to the cutlery, put some decoration such as a flower or a small branch in the bag.
Which napkin is suitable?
Plain-colored cloth napkins are perfect for this folding technique. Decorative seams really come into their own with this technique. Napkins printed on both sides can also be used well, but napkins printed on one side are not suitable as the reverse side of the napkin will also be visible in the end result. Folding is also easy with sturdy paper napkins.
