Fold napkins into silverware pouches

Who cares where the dessert fork goes? Make these cute silverware pouches and you can tuck everything into the napkins! Learn the art of napkin folding, perfect for entertaining guests!

You Will Need
* A cloth napkin
* An iron
* Starch

Step 1: Starch the napkin
Iron the napkin with starch.

Step 2: Fold into quarters
Lay the napkin facedown. Fold it into quarters and position it so the four open flaps are at the top right.

Step 3: Roll down layers
Roll the top-most layer of napkin diagonally down until it reaches the center of the napkin, and crease.

Step 4: Repeat
Repeat with the next two layers, rolling them down until they meet the previous roll.
*Tip: Iron the creases for sharper edges.

Step 5: Flip it over
Flip the napkin over so the closed side is on the right. Fold the closed side back about one-third of the way, and then fold the open side back on top of the first fold.

Step 6: Insert utensils
Turn the napkin over again and insert utensils into the pouch.

Fact
In ancient Rome, the main purpose of the napkin was to blot one's brow during meals eaten in the hot sun.
