Christmas is almost here, and if you're still figuring out your holiday tablescape, there's an easy way to take your decorations the extra mile. If you've got cloth napkins lying around, you can turn them into Christmas trees with just a few clever folds.

According to this tutorial from Handimania, if you follow five easy steps, you can transform any square cloth napkin into a Christmas tree. To start, you just need a set of cloth napkins-preferably green, if you're going for accuracy. Follow the directions to fold them into tiers just like a Christmas tree, and voila! A totally festive addition to your table decor.

Once you've finished all the folds, you can pin the napkins in place if you're worried about them coming undone. From there, you can decorate them however you'd like. Tie skinny ribbon into little bows, add paper cut-out stars or ornaments, or even add cinnamon sticks to the bottom to make them truly resemble trees.

Watch these adorable little cloth trees come to life in the video tutorial below, and if you're ready to try folding your own Christmas tree napkins, you can follow along with the full tutorial at Handimania.
