Martha Stewart's Clever Paper Towel Roll Trick Keeps Cloth Napkins Wrinkle-Free - Tasting Table

"The cardboard tubes from your paper towels won't only keep your cloth napkins wrinkle-free, but also more organized. Rolling instead of folding saves you space, and when you line up the rolls flat in a drawer, it can make it a lot easier to spot which ones you have. Don't worry, you don't need to roll each napkin around its own tube."

"In the video on Youtube, Martha Stewart suggested taking this organization tip even further by labelling each roll with the number of napkins in the pile and maybe using a band to keep them together. You probably don't want to try to smoosh too many napkins on one roll, especially if you plan on keeping the rolls in a drawer like Stewart, but you can experiment to figure out what works best for your space."

Rolling ironed cloth napkins around cardboard paper-towel tubes prevents wrinkles and creates organized, drawer-ready bundles. Stacking multiple napkins and rolling them together saves more storage space than folding and makes it easier to see and select napkin sets when lined up flat. Napkins do not need their own individual tube; a small pile can be rolled together by placing the tube at one end and rolling. Labeling each roll with the number of napkins and securing bundles with a band improves organization. Avoid overstuffing the tube if storing rolls flat in a drawer and adjust quantities to suit available space.
