Jane Austen Month, Day 11: Love Letter Napkins

Pin It

The art of napkin folding is pretty much lost on me. I remember when I was dating my future hubby, and my Mother in Law asked me to fold napkins for a dinner at her house, and I hadn't done anything like that since I took an etiquette class at the age of ten. She ended up making something fantastic, like a dancing snowflake on each plate.

As for me... well you know those paper fortune tellers we all used to play with as kids?

Well, I accidentally made something kinda cute yesterday :)
 


I was folding a napkin for my cute little silhouette cookie tea party, 

and it started to look like an envelope...

And I thought, "Hey, what's more Austen than a love letter?" 

And no, my napkin was not ironed.

So I tucked one inside.


And if you need the play by play, here it is. Fold a napkin into a triangle (I had to cheat because mine wasn't a square.)

And no, my tablecloth isn't ironed either. Stop judging.

fold over, 

Fold up, and place love note inside

and close the top.

 
Now make sure you put your cookie placecards in the right places. That could be awkward...
