There are many options for how to roll and lay out napkins for a birthday, anniversary of a man or a children's party. The easiest way to do this is to carefully place plates with already prepared fan-shaped forms. This method is convenient for guests.

Paper napkins must meet certain requirements:

• single-layer products are placed only in containers in the form of napkin holders or glasses, and multi-layer products are best placed near or on plates;
• if the fabric of the tablecloth has the same color as the napkin, then the fabric element must correspond in density to the tablecloth.

Napkins with holders look interesting, now you can see a large selection of this product on sale. When purchasing this attribute in a store, you should immediately pay attention to individual details:

• The opening of the holder must match the thickness of the napkin. Now there are products in which the size is regulated;

• this product is selected under the tableware.

At the holiday, a napkin is needed not only as a means of hygiene, but also as an original idea for decorating the table. Choosing a simple way to give an unusual shape to the material is not so easy, but quite realistic. Do-it-yourself fabric napkins with embroidery or knitting look very elegant.

If one common napkin holder is placed on the table, then it is placed in the center. It can be round or flat. Beautiful design is provided by the following important points:
