How to Fold a Bishop's Hat Napkin
The bishop's hat napkin has an elegant look and is great for events with a fairly limited number of guests, dinner parties, and intimate occasions come to mind. This is a napkin fold that stands up for dramatic effect. There is also pockets which can be stuffed and even a place card can be inserted in a fold at a jaunty angle. There is also an open area behind the peak that could conceivably be filled with candy, or relatively light objects. This is a nice elegant fold.
