4. Fold the napkin in half so that the points are on the outside.
5. Take only the top layer of the left corner of the napkin and fold it across to meet at the top right corner, forming a diagonal angle on the left side of the napkin.
6. Take only the top layer of the right corner of the napkin and fold it across to meet at the top left corner, forming a triangle.
7. Fold napkin in half to form a smaller triangle.
8. Repeat these steps to form the second half of your tree.
9. Place the two sections back-to-back to create the full tree.
