Use vintage handkerchiefs or vintage napkins. NOTE: if the napkin is thick cloth then it may not work as well since most tea cups have a small handle.

Pair with any vintage tea cup or coffee cup to achieve the look!

Take your napkin and fold two opposing ends towards the middle.

Next, fold the entire napkin in half. Then fold in half again.

Lastly, you will cross the ends over one another to create the shape in the last photo.

Grab your tea cup. Start by putting one of the ends through the handle (3rd photo).

Then slowly work the “bow” side through the handle. Don’t worry if it takes a little time and some effort! TIP: the larger the handle, the easier this part is. ;) Ask me how I know!
