An Aussie mum-of-two popular for filming home hacks has shared a napkin trick that will bring style to the dining table this Christmas.

Once the four corners are in the middle fold the four outer corners in toward the middle again to create a “chatterbox” effect. 

Now flip the napkin over and begin folding the outer corners in toward the middle.

Finally hold the centre pieces with one hand and with the other hand begin pulling out the behind napkin layer of the corner. 

Pulling the napkin in this manner will create a tapered “leaf” or “petal” effect with inner and outer layers.   

Continue pulling out the four corners of the napkin and place onto the dining table to see the completed look.

The simple yet stylish napkin fold is sure to impress guests before they sit down and eat their meals.
