How to Store Bedding Sets

When it's time to put fresh sheets and pillowcases on a bed, do you have to hunt thru the stack of bedding to find all the pieces to the set?
Here's a simple way to keep the sets together, and tidy up the linen closet at the same time.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Sheets
• Pillowcase(s)
• Permanent marker (optional)

1. Match up the top and bottom sheet to a set, and find the matching pillow case(s).
   Neatly fold the top and bottom sheet separately and stack together.
   If there are two pillowcases that match, fold one and place on top of the sheets.

2. Now place the stack of clean sheets (and pillowcase) and slide into the last pillowcase.
   The folded sheets should fit in the bottom half of the pillowcase.
   Now fold the top half over and you have a compact bundle of a complete bedding set that will stack easily in the closet.

3. If you can tell by the color and pattern on the pillowcase which bed it belongs on, you are finished.
   If you have similar colored sets, use a fine point permanent marker to make a small mark on the inside edge of the pillowcase indicating where it belongs.
   Mark it either with the bed size, T - twin, F - full, Q - queen, etc. or mark the initials of the person whose bed it belongs on.

4. Stored this way, the closet will be neater, and fresh bed making will be quicker
