Origami Standing Fan Napkin Fold Tutorial
This traditional origami technique is normally used to fold napkins for an elaborate table setting.
I love the look of this model when it is made with paper, it has a much crisper, neat look.
When you use a napkin, the extra layers of paper or fabric give it a fuller, plush look.
If you were going to use a napkin, start with either a ironed fabric napkin, you will need to iron the napkin at each step. It would help to use steam for the fabric napkin.
For a paper napkin you could probably get away with not ironing but you would have quite a floppy result.
I would suggest practicing with paper first!
You will need one piece of square paper.
In the photo above, the pretty patterned paper is from a set of beautiful origami paper called- 'Kimono Patterns' by Tuttle, you get 48 sheets of 20 x 20 cm in 8 different patterns which are on both sides of the paper. Here is a link to buy a set over at Amazon.com.
Here are some more models I'd suggest for you:
