Why won't you fold!So satisfying.
Anyone who is a little OCD about having perfectly folded sheets owes this Australian woman a beer.
The woman, named Kris, works in Adairs in the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre in Queensland, and recently shared a video to the store's facebook page.
If you've ever tried folding a fitted sheet knows it's a bit of a struggle... Those elastic corners just don't want to play ball.
Generally (out of frustration) the thing just ends up being scrunched into a ball and shoved into the back of the press.
But no longer! All thanks to Kris and her wizardry.
In the clip, which has been viewed more than 490,000 times, she shows viewers a quick and easy way to neatly fold a fitted sheet.
Check it out:
So here's how it's done:
1. The first step sees you put a hand inside two corners of the shorter side of the sheet and place the whole thing down on a flat surface.
2. Then, take your hands out and place your fingers on the outside corners at the other end of the sheet and push them inside out.
3. Next, with your fingers still on the inside of those corners, match the ends up by tucking them inside each other.
4. The fourth step involves gathering the ends of the elastic, corner to corner before picking the sheet up through the middle and shaking it out.
5. After this, place your right hand into the right corner of the sheets and tuck your left hand over the other corner. Lay it down on a flat surface again - by now it should be forming a nice rectangle shape.
6. Take one side of the sheet and fold length ways into the middle, repeat with the other side, before folding over the other way two or three times to make a neat square of sheets.
Ok, it does sound fairly complicated...maybe watching the video (and practice) is the way to go.
