Who cares where the dessert fork goes? Make these cute silverware pouches and you can tuck everything into the napkins!

To complete this How-To 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.

Starch??? Serious.. I have a napkin.

This is really cool. I just bought napkins and don't have rings and these look amazing and elegant even on thicker non-starched, unironed napkins.
