  1. Grasp the sheet by two the corners of one of the short ends. Stand up so the sheet is not dragging on the ground.

  2. Place each hand inside the pockets of each of the two corners.

  3. Bring your hands together, and fold the corner in your right hand over the one in your left.

  4. Repeat with the other two corners, bringing them together and folding one over the other.

  5. Bring the bottom corners up to meet the top corners, and fold them all over one hand.

  6. Place the folded sheet on a table or the floor, and fold over the edges of the pockets.

  7. Fold the edges of the sheet inward to hide the elastic.

  8. Fold the sheet into a neat rectangle.

Tips

Take sheets out of the dryer as soon as they are dry. This will prevent wrinkles and keep your sheets looking fresh.
