What You’ll Need
- A fitted double bed sheet with corners
- A clean and flat surface
Step 1: Locate the Corners
Spread the fitted sheet on a clean and flat surface. Identify the corners of the sheet, which are fitted with elastic bands. This will help you orient the sheet correctly and proceed with folding.
Step 2: Bring the Corners Together
Once you’ve located the corners, take the corner of the sheet in your left hand and fold it towards the center of the sheet. Next, take the corner on the opposite side of the sheet (the corner diagonal from the first one), and bring it over to meet the first corner. The fitted edges should align.
Step 3: Fold in Half Lengthwise
Now that the corners are neatly stacked, fold the sheet in half lengthwise by bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge. Make sure to align the edges as precisely as possible to ensure a clean fold.
Step 4: Tuck in Elastic Edges
With the sheet folded in half, you will notice the elastic edges are still sticking out. To create a neater fold, tuck in these elastic edges. Fold them towards the inside of the sheet, making sure they are concealed within the fold.
Step 5: Fold in Thirds
Now that the sheet is neatly folded in half with the elastic edges tucked in, it’s time to fold it into thirds. Take one side of the sheet and fold it towards the center, then fold the other side over to cover the first fold. The sheet should now be in a compact rectangular shape.
Step 6: Final Touches
Smooth out any wrinkles and adjust the edges to ensure a clean and uniform fold. Give yourself a pat on the back for successfully folding a fitted double bed sheet with corners!
By following these steps, you can say goodbye to crumpled and messy sheets in your linen closet. Your fitted double bed sheets will now be neatly folded and easy to stack, helping you stay organized and saving you time when searching for the perfect set of sheets.
Now that you know the secret to folding fitted sheets, go ahead and tackle that closet clutter. Your freshly folded linens will thank you!
