Folding an elegant cutlery bag
An elegant cutlery bag can be folded quickly and easily from a napkin and still looks elegant. The simple cutlery bag can be slightly modified to shine at festive occasions. The fold provides space for the cutlery and integrates it elegantly and practically into your table decoration. Knives, forks and spoons are always well placed, whether next to or on the plate. The napkin also serves as protection and storage for the cutlery and, of course, for the guest to clean it. The folded version is more elegant and can also be used on festively decorated tables. Cutlery bags are particularly suitable for outdoor use, as the cutlery prevents them from being blown away by the wind. The elegant cutlery bag is therefore ideal for outdoor events and the outdoor area of your catering establishment.
Our tip
For an exciting effect, you can lay two different colored thin cloth napkins on top of each other and fold the individual layers down alternately in steps 4 - 6.
Which napkin is suitable?
Choose a suitable napkin for the fold: plain-colored cloth napkins are perfect. Exciting effects can be achieved with a striking contrasting edge or decorative stitching. Napkins printed on one side are not suitable for folding, as the reverse side of the napkin will also be visible in the end result. If you are working with paper napkins, make sure that the napkin is sturdy and does not tear.
