How To Fan A Stack Of Paper Napkins For Buffet Table In 10 Seconds

        Very important to make napkins loosen before starting to fan them. The stack of napkins is sometimes not easy to rotate if the napkins are stored in the package for a long.

        Fanning a stack of paper napkins with glass is the best and easiest way to fancy up the table, in my opinion. Because we don’t wrinkle too much or damage the top napkins when rotating them. Glass is always on hand and it works with all napkins I tried very well. I tried with beverage napkins and lunch napkins too. You can see the impressive result in the photo. Of course, I turned upside down the stock of napkins for the presentation because the top napkin is not perfectly flat after we rotate a glass on it.

Stack of paper napkins

Glass  (Egg-shaped, V-shaped or normal glass work great to fan napkins stock great.)

        Place a glass on the top of the stack of napkins and apply pressure. Rotate the glass. The stock of napkins will shape and look like a star from the top. The technique is the same, watch my video below next technique and you see how easy to fan napkins with glass and saucer.

         This method for spreading beverage napkins works well too. Works the same as with glass. Hold with the left hand the bottom napkin. Place a saucer on the top napkins stock, apply pressure, and rotate. Great way instead of putting on the table not an attractive stack of napkins decorate the table with fan napkins. We can use 2 or 3 colors to mutch without a table theme.

        The downside of this method is the top napkins going to be with wrinkles. We can’t prevent this if we use a plate (saucer), I tried. What I do, if I use for fanning napkins a saucer?

1. Turn upside down the stock after you have done to fan out it. This way napkins with wrinkles will be on the bottom.

2. Take out the top of napkins with wrinkles and use for something else or place on the bottom of the napkins stock.

Place a saucer on the top of the stack of napkins. Apply a small pressure on the saucer then start rotating the saucer. To make napkins look like a fan so easy and look so cute on the table. A few napkins from the top usually slightly wrecked after we apply pressure with a saucer. If we turned the stock of napkins upside down, wrinkled napkins will be not visible.

       This method is how to fan a stack of napkins by rotating them in hands. This method needs practice, in my opinion. Try to fan a few times before Holiday comes, so you learn the technique well. Of course, if you fan stock of napkins for the crowd using gloves is a good idea. This method to fan a stock of napkins is good if we don’t want to have any napkins wrinkled on the top. The result will be pretty. Great idea to display paper napkins stock on the buffet table attractive and creative way!

       My friend told me when she works at a bar, they fan napkins simply with a fist. I didn’t use gloves in the photo but it is probably, a good idea if you serve paper napkins to the public.

       If we need to place napkins beautifully in a glass, it takes just one step more after we fan the napkin stack. We can use a small twisted stack of napkins and roll it in a cone shape. It is a quick trick for displaying napkins in a glass beautifully. We can use a glass that can be a great napkin holder for quick and inexpensive party table decor.
