This candle may be constructed from a napkin, but that doesn't mean it won't shine. Creating this elegant look is as easy as folding a square napkin into a triangle and rolling it up. You can stand the finished linen on its own, but we like the idea of placing it in the water glass -- that way you know it won't fall over and you can create a looser, more natural fold.

So easy, we probably don't need to tell you how to do this. But we will: Just fold the napkin into a triangle, then roll. Stick the rolled napkin into a glass. Done. If you need pics, check out The Napkin Folding Guide (which indeed exists).
