Each napkin will need two cardboard triangles. Note: There are many more patterns you can create by searching for different Shibori patterns online.<\/li>\n<li>Take fabric and fold in half three times to get a long rectangle shape.<\/li>\n<li>To fold, create a triangle shape on one end of the napkin. Fold that triangle underneath to create a flat edge. Fold under and back again. Continue folding under until you get to the end of your fabric, making a triangle accordion.<\/li>\n<li>Place cardboard triangles on either side of the fabric, like a sandwich, and secure with several rubber bands. Then tie twine tightly around the sandwiched cardboard.<\/li>\n<li>Run your bound pieces of fabric under water \u2013 don\u2019t soak completely, just wet enough for dye to absorb all the way through. Wring out water from bundle if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare dye bottle according to package instructions.<\/li>\n<li>Take dye bottle and soak bound napkins in dye over a protected mixing bowl (kitchen gloves may come in handy to keep hands clean). For a more defined pattern, make sure to soak edges thoroughly so no white shows at all.<\/li>\n<li>Wrap each cardboard-bound napkin in plastic wrap and let sit overnight to let dye take hold. Then unwrap and rinse in cold water until water runs clear.<\/li>\n<li>Dry and enjoy your handiwork at your next dinner party!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4025 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mops.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/easy-shibori-napkins-1.jpg\" alt=\"easy-shibori-napkins-1\" width=\"675\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4026 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mops.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/easy-shibori-napkins-2.jpg\" alt=\"easy-shibori-napkins-2\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4027 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mops.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/easy-shibori-napkins-3.jpg\" alt=\"easy-shibori-napkins-3\" width=\"675\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4028 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mops.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/easy-shibori-napkins-4.jpg\" alt=\"easy-shibori-napkins-4\" width=\"675\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mops.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/easy-shibori-napkins-5.jpg\" alt=\"easy-shibori-napkins-5\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4030 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mops.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/easy-shibori-napkins-6.jpg\" alt=\"easy-shibori-napkins-6\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4031 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mops.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/easy-shibori-napkins-7.jpg\" alt=\"easy-shibori-napkins-7\" width=\"675\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Photography by<em><br \/>\nErica Krysl,<br \/>\n<\/em><em><a href=\"http:\/\/ericakrysl.com\/\">ericakrysl.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Bre Graziano is the Social Media and PR Manager for MOPS.
