    Wrapping silverware in napkins is actually very informal. When you're having a dinner party, you wouldn't want to wrap your silverware.

    For a super quick and easy method, lay out the napkin in a square and fold up the bottom 2-3 inches. Tuck the silverware under the fold on the right side of the napkin, then fold down the top edge of the napkin. Starting at the right side, roll up the napkin with the silverware inside. Secure it with a ribbon or napkin ring.

    The diamond or rectangular wrap method will work fine. To keep the napkin from unrolling, tape a strip of paper around the middle of the bundle.

    To create an elegant look, the pointed pouch method works well. Finish off the bundle with a pretty ribbon, a napkin ring, or even some twine if you want a rustic look. You can also buy adhesive napkin bands in a variety of colors if you’re using paper napkins.
