I like my table looking glamorous, right down to the folded napkins.
I especially like this design and it isn’t that difficult to do.
- Get your freshly washed, starched and ironed linen napkins out.
- Fold in half, left to right.
- Fold in half, bottom to top.
- You made a square — so far so good.
- Fold the top right layer (you should have 4 layers) down diagonally to the opposite corner. It will make a triangular shape.
- Fold down the next right layer and tuck it behind the first one you just made.
- Fold down the next right layer and tuck it behind the second one you made.
- Congratulate yourself! We’re almost done.
- Turn your napkin over fold the right side toward the center about an inch.
- Then fold the left side toward the center overlapping the right side about half an inch.
- Turn your three pocket napkin over and put in the silverware.
- You can follow the illustration with the spoon at the top, knife in the center and the fork at the bottom.
Now, wasn’t that easy and so impressive!
You see, with all the crafts you’ve been doing this was a definite piece of cake!
Thanks for stopping by!

Family.Disney.com has the absolute best FREE Templates you can print out for Thanksgiving.
I don’t believe Thanksgiving would be complete without having some hostess gifts for your young guests. It gives me a warm feeling inside that I’ve given something special to prolong the celebration just a bit longer.
These candy box Mickey and Mini Pilgrims are absolutely perfect. You make them by printing them out on card stock, cut them out and assemble them. Then you fill them with something yummy or special trinkets. It’s that special touch, only you can add that makes these Mickey and Mini Candy Boxes so special.
Without further chatter, here are the pictures and the links:
Now isn’t he a handsome fellow with his Pilgrim hat, a pumpkin and his own turkey drumstick!

I haven’t forgotten Mini! She does look lovely as a Pilgrim with her special bonnet, apron and a beautiful big smile.

This handsome couple will definitely brighten up your Thanksgiving decor. I always like to add a bonus or two in my posts to give you something else you can use by printing out on card stock, cutting out and assembling.
Chip and Dale are fun little characters to make this special Kids’ Table sign enjoyable.
Here’s the Free Template
You’re going to need a wooden dowel and a flower arrangement or a pumpkin to secure the dowel into.
Mickey Mouse Happy Thanksgiving Napkin Rings
You can print these out on either plain printer paper or card stock. They tie the Disney theme together at the adult and kids’ tables.
I have one more surprise free template for you.

I love making gift boxes almost as much as I love filling them with goodies.
You just need the free template and some colored card stock paper to print out a variety of houses you can put together with glue or double-sided tape. Or have them all the same color. You may want to add some other greetings on your houses or some stickers. You could really get creative with these little House Gift Boxes. They remind me of small milk cartons.
I may want to experiment with the door and have it open for all the goodies to spill out . . . depending upon what you’ve put inside. The template is designed for opening at the top for delicious baked goodies. These are great for co-workers and neighbors, postal carrier and whoever else you would like to give a little gift.
They’re handy for kids to exchange small tokens with friends. I can imagine them being extremely popular. You may want to begin with a dozen. Soon, you’ll have a whole gift box explosion . . . people will want them to give for gifts, too. You could be in business making and selling these boxes.
For a change of pace, here’s a wonderful triangular gift box
You just print it out on white card stock and put it together with glue and you have a great gift box that is already decorated for the winter holiday season. You can put so very many things inside to the delight of everyone on your gift list.
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your free gift boxes!

This is truly an impressive Christmas or Winter Village that you can make and display. It is a Christmas diorama of Pretzschendorf (paper models). You can access them at http://www.grundschule-pretzschendorf.de/en/Our_village/paper_models.html
There are 48 historical models for you to make. They are from the early 20th century. Make them all or select the ones you like. They make nice gifts, too. You may like to decorate packages with them or display them with a plate of cookies. I’m confident you’ll find many wonderful uses for the various buildings. I’ve cut out some windows and put battery operated tea lights in them to light up my village. I also have an N-Gauge Train Set running through my village. I do not have any powered cars, but I do have various accessories to populate my village.
The workmanship on these paper craft models is outstanding and well worthwhile for you to check out.
Thanks for stopping by!
