Preparation
Pale-pink napkins are often used for special occasions instead of the traditional white or cream.
Linen napkins
Fold a dinner napkin in half diagonally both ways, pressing to crease; press all folds as you go. Open the napkin, and then fold all four corners to the center, creating a square.
Flip the napkin over, and fold the corners to meet at the center.
With a finger pressing down on the center of napkin, reach underneath and pull up the flap at each corner to create the lotus petals.
