Title of Invention: Combined application of full color patterns to square paper napkins, that once folded, create napkins in 3D color images resembling the entity the napkin or origami fold is named for.
Abstract: 
A method for creating new educational, and theme party products in the form of full color 3D paper napkin entities that resemble the color image likeness the entity that the napkin fold or origami fold is named for. By combining color napkin or origami patterns applied to the art or industry medium of square paper napkins or serviettes with the intention of matching the pattern to the like named fold or origami fold, creates a fun challenge to the individual folder to achieve the correct folded outcome. The paper napkins are both functional for everyday use, and are folding fun for seasonal & theme parties, birthdays, and are educational as they stimulate conversation and the creative mind while folding.

Detailed Description: 

This application has priority of U.S. Ser. No. 61/697618, filed on Sep. 6, 2012. The invention is the method of combining distinctly separate processes to plain square paper napkins, that once performed, result in the full color 3D paper napkin images bearing the same name that the napkin is folded into, and the universal fold is named for, of-which creates a new article of manufacture in the paper napkin or serviette industry for use in the fields arts and education, along with catering & restaurants, seasonal parties, theme parties, birthday parties, origami folding challenges, and overall general daily paper napkin use.


The first distinct process in turning a white paper napkin into the full color 3D image bearing the same name that the napkin is folded into, and the universal fold is named for, is the discovery, or creation of a geometrically, or specifically arranged color print design pattern, artistic rendering, or computer or photographic image, to match the named fold, and applying that color pattern onto square paper napkins. The secondary process is then combining the specifically named color napkin print design, or origami color print design pattern that was applied to the paper napkin with the same like named universal napkin, or origami fold, and, as the fold is then manually performed on the like named pattern, it creates the full color 3D image of the specifically named napkin, or origami fold that the entity is named for. These patterns may appear to be an abstract image when not folded, yet will prove to be the specific design or configured pattern needed to create this new original article of manufacturing once the process of folding is applied. The design patterns are specific to each entity's fold name, and may not be interchanged. My discovery and the method to create these new full color paper napkin entities is further demonstrated and supported in the cross-referenced exhibits & patents attached, and in my brief descriptions of the drawings below.

(FIG. 2C) Consists of the finished image of the full color entity “Bird of Paradise” flower, and described as the side view of the same colored paper napkin (FIG. 2A) after the like named specific “Bird of Paradise” fold (FIG. 2B) was performed on it.
(FIG. 3A) U.S. Pat. No.D484,316 S Described as the top view of an open flat square paper napkin of conventional 1ply, 2ply, or 3ply paper thickness with the specific colored print design, “Sea Shell” applied onto it.
(FIG. 3B) Describes the “Sea Shell” folding steps 1 thru 5 to create the “Sea Shell” (FIG. 3C).
(FIG. 3C) Described as the side view of the same paper napkin (FIG. 3A) once the like named specific fold (FIG. 3B) is completed, consisting of the finished image of a paper “Sea Shell”.
(FIG. 4A) U.S. Pat. No.D484,318S Consists of the top view of an open flat square paper napkin of conventional 1ply, 2ply, or 3ply paper thickness with the specific colored print design pattern called, “Rainbow” applied onto it.
(FIG. 4B), Describes the “Rainbow” folding steps 1-5.
1. Fold napkin in ½ with colors running length of fold.->2. Start at one end and fold the napkin in ½ to ¾ in. strips stacking them upon each other like an accordion, and fold until you have about 2.5-3 in. left unfolded.->3. Fold napkin in ½ with unfolded flat side inside, accordion fold side on outside and press accordion ends together.->4. While holding firmly, take unfolded corner on remaining napkin, and tuck it down triangularly into the creased center of the fans accordion fold locking the accordion sides together.->5. Set it upright with accordion ends up, and release the fan, and a rainbow appears.
(FIG. 4C) Described as the front side view of the same paper napkin (FIG. 4A) once the like named specific fold (FIG. 4B) is completed, consisting of the finished image of a “Rainbow”.
(FIG. 5A) U.S. Pat. No.D484,317 S Described as the top view of an open flat square paper napkin of conventional 1ply, 2ply, or 3ply paper thickness, with the specific colored print design pattern, “Pineapple Fold” applied onto it.
(FIG. 5B) Described as the “Pineapple” folding directions 1 thru 5.
1. Open napkin printed side down.->2. Gently roll/twist one green tip to use as the tie off.->3. Place finger in center, pull the other 3 tips to the center.->4. Bring the twisted tip up and wrap it around the others, and tie it off at the fruits body level.->5. Pull areas of the fruits body to widen and make full inflating the fruit, and spread the tips apart.
