BIRD OF PARADISE

	1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you.
	2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally, creating a rectangle. After that fold it again in half to form a square .
	3. Fold the square to form triangle . Orient the triangle so the open tip is facing away from you.
	4. Fold the right corner diagonally towards you – laying it down along the center line of the triangle, making a new tip pointing towards you. Do the same with the left corner, fold it diagonally toward you and press it down next to the previous fold.
	5. Fold the two "wings" that you just made in folds 4 under so that you have your original triangle shape back.
	6. Fold the triangle in half by bringing the center seam towards you and allowing the ends to fall.
	7. While holding the base firmly to keep your folds together, pull up the four ‘flaps’ created by the napkin’s corners.
	8. Pretty cool fold, isn’t it? This fold can be difficult if you don’t use an iron or have a fairly stiff napkin so be prepared to put a few minutes into making each one.
