Struggling to make your Christmas table feel ‘Christmassy’? You’re probably running out of time to run to the shops to get Christmas napkins. So, we’ve got a last-minute idea you could use to give your table a unique Christmas look.

A Christmas tree napkin for your dining table sounds like it could be a difficult thing for you to create. Well, it isn’t. We’ll take you step by step to make sure your napkin and your table look perfect on Christmas Day.

Firstly, you’ll need to get hold of a plain napkin, red, white or green are always a good colour of choice for a festive look.

Step 1

Place a napkin on a flat surface iron it out to make the folding process easier. We’ve gone for a red napkin, but the choice is yours.

Step 2

Fold the napkin in half, and make sure the corners perfectly match to keep what will eventually be a Christmas tree to look neat when finished.

Step 3

Then take the right side of the napkin and fold this in half, creating a small square like the one below.

Step 4

Twist the napkin around so your square now looks like a diamond shape. Look at the picture below to assist you.

Step 5

Take one of the folds and take this up to the top point of the diamond. Then take each of the other folds and place them a centimetre or two apart. Look at the image below as a guide.

Step 6

Once you’ve got a shape like the image below, you’ll need to flip the napkin over so the folds you’ve just created are now flat to the table.

Step 7

Fold the left side of the napkin so the point is matching flush to the right side, showing the folds which you created. Use the image below as a guide. 

Step 8

Fold the right side over the top of the left, creating a quadrilateral, or ‘kite-like’ shape.

Step 9

Flip the napkin over and you should be left with a shape that looks like the photo below.

Step 10

From the top to the bottom, intricately fold the napkin under each flap. Repeat the steps tucking each fold into the one above.

Step 11

Your napkin should now look like the image below, a cute Christmas tree napkin!

Step 12

Place the napkin on a plate and enjoy a Christmas dinner around a table with a unique Christmas napkin.
