Stack the yellow and blue napkins on top of each other to make this special napkin folding
To make this table napkin fold, prepare two napkins that are the same size. We need a blue and yellow napkin to make this Swedish flag.
Place the yellow napkin on top of the blue napkin. Please make sure they are exactly on top of one another. Proceed to the next set of steps.
Make the cross design of the Swedish flag
We need to make the golden Nordic cross design that the Swedish flag is known for. To make this, fold the bottom left corner around the middle. Do not fold it precisely at the center.
Do the same on the right bottom corner as well. Take note that the flap corners should not be precisely at the center. The bottom corners folded should form a yellow vertical bar.
Repeat the previous step on the top corners of the napkin. Folding them around the middle makes the cross. Next, time to shape it into a flag!
Shape the napkin into a rectangular flag.
The crossbar of the flag of Sweden is not symmetrical. Fold a big part of the left corner to the back.
For the right sides, fold only a small part of the corner to the back. The right crossbar should be longer than the one on the left side.
Shape the napkin into a rectangular flag by folding the bottom part to the back as shown in the image above.
Repeat the previous step on the top corner as well. When you have shaped the napkin into a rectangle, then the Swedish flag table napkin is done! Congratulations on making this special napkin fold!
