Orderliness makes me happy.

Choose something that will match your tablecloth or table runner, placemats, flatware, glassware, candles, and other table decorations.Be sure to use a clean, freshly-ironed napkin, whichever pattern you choose..

If you’re at all familiar with origami, you’ll feel a little like you’re doing fabric origami over the next few steps.Fold the top and the bottom of the napkin towards the center so they meet in the middle, and iron everything smooth before you fold it again.Ironing between each step will ensure a crisp look to your bow.. Next, bring the two sides in so that they meet in the middle and iron your napkin one more time so that it’s crisp and holds its shape nicely.. Flip the napkin over to reveal the smooth side and hide the folds..

Pinch the napkin in the centre.I like the way it looks if you make sure that the fabric folds into a sort of “zig-zag” when you pinch it, with the most significant “dip” falling in the middle..

If you like the way it looks, you can proceed to the next step, which will secure it in place and give your napkin a little bit of style.. Take a piece of wide ribbon, about five to six inches long.

This will be the center of your bow.has also been coming up with a few more manly decorating ideas that I’m hoping to get to share with you too.

Things that involve specific gauges of wire, and copper piping and stuff like that.Keep an eye out for those!.

So this mason jar.I’ve seen quite a few of those DIY mercury glass type jars around, and I love those, but I do still have to lay off the spray paint for a few more weeks, so I thought it might be fun to try out some gold this time around..
