while creating a few simple spring tablescapes for some upcoming blog posts,
i was playing around with my yellow napkins - and came up with this.
it's a simple project, and adds loads of style to your table!

for each rosette, you need one square fabric napkin. i didn't even iron mine while doing this,
but i'm sure you're a better hostess / host than i am and will use pristine napkins!!!.

directions (photos from left to right):
fold napkin in half, then fold in half lengthwise.
start at one end, and begin rolling the napkin tightly until you reach the end.
hold the rolled napkin on one hand.
working on the unfolded side of the napkin, fold over each layer of the napkin,
'peeling' them away from the rolled layers to create 'petals' - you should be able to pull four layers.
you can also fold over the bottom edge to hold it more securely in place.
place the napkin rosette into a cup, glass, or even small clay pot
to hold the shape and show off the bloom!
