When it comes to setting a table, there's certain etiquette one must abide by: Placing silverware in the proper order, making sure the drinking glass goes on the right, the bread plate on the left. But you shouldn't let these rules stop you from having some fun with your place settings—and napkins are the ideal outlet for creativity. In our napkin-folding series, we'll show you how to origami your way to a personalized place setting.
