How to fold sheet with elastic

Small details in housekeeping can make your daily life easier. Among them, it is essential to keep the bedding always clean and organized and to use pieces that are not only beautiful, but also practical.

This is the case with the elastic sheet, which does not let those ends fall out of bed and is fixed on the edges of the mattress. After all, it is not pleasant to wake up and realize that the sheet has escaped and left your body in direct contact with the mattress.

But all this practicality seems to fall apart when it comes to folding the sheet with elastic and accommodating it in the closet. If not bent properly, the piece is all wrinkled and sloppy.

Although it does not seem easy, it is possible to fold the sheet with elastic without leaving it all "tangled".

Just follow the step-by-step of a simple technique that will only take a few minutes of your time and that will make the task easier.

Step by step how to fold sheet with elastic

1. Turn the sheet upside down and fit each hand on one end with elastic;
2. Put your hands together, placing one end inside the other and aligning the elastics so that they look like a pocket;
3. Keep one hand in that pocket and bring the other ends of the sheet with the other, adjusting each over the pocket;
4. Align the elastics and place the sheet on a smooth surface with the elastics facing up;
5. Fold one side with elastic toward the middle and then cover with the opposite side, which has no elastic;
6. Now just fold the rectangle in half as many times as you like.
