How to Fold Fitted Sheets

It can be difficult to store fitted sheets into closets without having them bunch. Follow these few simple tips and you can have sheets that are beautifully folded and a snap to store.

Instructions

1. Place each hand under two corners of the sheet.

2. Bring your hands together in front of you, touching hands. Slip the left-handed corner over the right hand.

3. Pick up the third corner with your left hand. Transfer the corner over the right hand. You now have three corners on your right hand.

4. Pick up the final corner and transfer it over the right hand. You now have all four corners over the right hand.

5. Lay the sheet on a table with the elastic folds on top. Fold the sides connected to the elastic on top of the sheet, shaping the sheet into a rectangle.

6. Fold the sheet in half and then half again. This should leave you with a long rectangle.

7. Continue to fold the sheet until it is small enough to fit into your closet.

Tips & Warnings

• Fold your sheets immediately after removing them from the dryer. This makes for easier folding and crisp-looking sheets.
