I already made several of these last year in different colors, and people always love them. You can give these as gifts, souvenirs, or even sell them. A nice idea would be to add this to a box with a few chocolates and other gift items. I am sure it will be a hit. This is also a great way to decorate the tables for date nights, or you can use it as a bathroom decoration.

How to Make a Rose Out of a Cloth Napkin

Step 1:

Lay the square cloth on a flat surface.

Step 2:

Fold it into a triangle and leave a little bit of space on top. You don’t want to perfectly align the edges.

Step 3:

With the folded edge facing towards you, start rolling the triangle, leaving about three to five inches on top.

Step 4:

Start rolling it from one end, then leave a tail that’s about four inches long.

Step 5:

Hold the base with one hand, then tuck the tail into the fold using your other hand. You can tuck it in with your fingers or if it’s hard for you you can use a bread knife.

Step 6:

Take the two tails and pull them around to the front.
