Folding a fitted sheet can seem like a daunting task. Oftentimes, people get frustrated and just shove the sheet into a drawer or cabinet, wrinkling it and taking up unnecessary space. Even with bamboo sheets, which are known for being less prone to wrinkling, this can be a problem. This step-by-step guide will not only teach you how to become a pro at folding sheets, but it will also help to maximize your storage space!
Step 1: Lay out the fitted sheet with the elastic side up.
Step 2: Pull the two bottom corners inside out.
Step 3: Tuck bottom corners into top corners so that the sheet is folded in half.
Step 4: Stick arms into the pockets of each corner.
Step 5: Extend arms out to the sides.
Step 6: Join the two corners by placing your hands together.
Step 7: Flip one corner over the other so that both corners are draped on one arm. All of the elastic is now aligned at one corner.
Step 8: Lay the folded sheet down on a flat surface. The elastic should make an ‘L’ shape toward the top left corner. Fold into thirds (fold in top first to conceal messy edge).
Step 9: Fold into thirds again and you have a perfectly folded fitted sheet!
Keeping Your Set Together
There are many methods for folding pillow cases! They are all very simple and contribute to space-saving.
Option 1: Place your folded sheets inside the pillowcase and tuck the excess pillowcase under. (It’s now wrapped up as a soft convenient package!)
Option 2: Fold pillowcase into thirds lengthwise and wrap around folded sheets (like a present!)
Option 3: Simply fold the pillowcase and stack it on top of the other sheets
By following these steps for perfectly folding sheets, you can not only keep them from wrinkling a lot, but you can also minimize the space that they take up in a closet or drawer. Feeling tidy and organized can take as little as a nicely-folded sheet set!
