Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• a load of towels

1. ~Spread it out~
   
   Spread the towel out over a surface such as the floor, the couch, or your lap.

2. ~Fold it in half~
   
   Fold the towel in half “hamburger style” so that it is fatter than it is longer.

3. ~Fold in half again~
   
   Fold it in half again so that it looks like a fourth of what you began with.

4. ~Fold up~
   
   Fold the towel up from the bottom so that the bottom of this fold is cutting the towel in half.

5. ~Fold up again~
   
   Fold up once more to create the tri-fold.
   
   Now finish the rest of the load!

Tips & Warnings

• Wash towels separate from clothing. The fuzzies will get on the clothes and potentially ruin them.
• The towels could be very hot depending on your dryer settings so let them sit a minute to cool a little. Then, they will be nice and toasty.
