I guess I could have left that preachy little "Be Green" out huh?
I bought some very clever Christmas tree napkins at a recent craft fair. I wished I had bought more of them for gifts so decided to try and stitch some up. They are basically just a half circle using two contrasting fabrics...stitch them right sides together, turn, press, fold accordion style. Just do a Search for Christmas Tree Napkin and you will find free patterns for them in both video and pdf formats. The napkins online did a nice job adding rick rack but I omitted that, as you can see below.

| I could not scan the entire half circle... I had to fold it in half. What you are seeing is a quarter circle. |
 |
| Cheery little thing isn't it? |
 |
| I made some in the reverse direction also. |
You know, looking at them now, I believe my folding is a bit askew. The napkins I purchased and the free online patterns have a preferred folding...pretty sure.
I will have to go refold and repress mine.
Anyway, I cannot wait to make a stack, tie them together with some favorite ribbon and wrap them up. So I'm off now..my fabrics are calling.
