If you know how to fold bed sheets neatly then you have conquered the first step in your quest for a neatly organized linen closet. This step by step tutorial will show you the best way to fold a fitted sheet and a flat sheet into a bundle to save space and create a lovely linen closet.

Begin by putting your fingers in the corners on one side of the fitted sheet. In other words, grab one long side of a fitted sheet and place your fingers on the outside corners.

Put your pointer finger in the corners then bring those fingers together.

Notice how you are seeing the inside of the sheet. This is important because when we are finished the fitted sheet will be folded with the outside showing.

Next, pull one corner over the other corner.

Now reach over and put your finger in the other corner on the outside and tuck it on the inside of the other corner.

Next lay the corners down and gently pull the sides down and make a square.

Then take the opposite end and fold it over the top of the end with the corners.

Next, fold it over one more time.

And place the fitted sheet off to the side because now we are going to work on the flat sheet.

For the next part of the folded sheet bundle is to fold the flat sheet. Begin by grabbing the long end and pull the corners together.

Next, fold it again one more time.

Then fold it from the other end and place it on a bed or table.

Now grab the fitted sheet that you have set aside and sit it on the flat sheet.

Now fold the flat sheet over several times to make a square.

Now place the folded fitted sheet on the corner with the open edges, not the folded edge.

You can place any folded pillowcases that match the sheet set on top of the flat sheet.

Now fold the flat sheet over the fitted sheet and pillowcase.

Now place your hand along the edge and fold the fitted and flat sheet and pillowcase over one time.

Now fold it one more time.

And you are finished. Your sheet set is neatly folded into a bundle where you can sit it beautifully in your linen closet.
