Below are the directions:
- This design requires a well-starched napkin.
1. Fold the corners of the napkin into the center and press flat.
2. Repeat the same process a second time - the napkin should be much smaller at this point.
3. Holding the center points together, carefully turn the napkin over.
4. Fold the four corners into the centre again - this time do not press.
5. Holding the center firmly, partly pull out the previous folds from under each corner and gently pull them upwards to make the petals.
6. Pull out the corners from underneath between the petals, to form the base leaves of the lilly.
If you are a visual person and need to visually see how to create this napkin fold, please visit this link. They use a paper napkin to create their fold, but you can just as easily use a cloth napkin. They also leave their lilly a bit higher than my folded napkin, but it will give you the idea.
