How to make a lotus flower

For the wedding last week, I made cloth napkins. Some one else did the presentation.

So for my daughter's up coming wedding I gave it a stab. Actually just google napkins folding lotus and you will see a much more explained method. But I will give it a try.

Wash and iron it flat, using spray starch on the wrong side. That is damp spray starch you see, not stains!


Fold the corners into the middle making sure the points are very crisp. Once again spray starch and iron.

Darn spray starch wasn't ready for another photo this time either. But fold the corner in one more time. Iron crisp with starch.




Flip it over, turn the corners in one more time, you know the routine, starch and crisp. You are now ready to pull the petal up from each corner. Trust me I know, I did 24 of these today!
It's less than 48 hours until the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting nervous now.
