How do you fold fitted bed sheets to keep them compact?

When I was little and they came out with fitted sheets I ask my mother the same question.Fold sheet in half,tuck one end of corner into other and straighten out.Do the same for the other corner. Then you will be folding in half again,tuck all corners into each other.You should now have a square.You can continue in the same way until it is flat and folded into a small square. Easy right. Not really it takes time.My mom was the original Donna Reed ';Mother knows best';How do you fold fitted bed sheets to keep them compact?
fold in 1/2 crosswise tucking 2 bottom corners in the 2 top....you now have 2 corners...tuck one corner into the other and fold the side in...fold this in 1/2 ...now you have a strip about 8'; to 12'; wide depending on the size of the sheet....now fold this strip in 1/2 crosewise 2 or 3 times....this is neat and very compact.....hope you understand what I was trying to say....it get easier w/ timeHow do you fold fitted bed sheets to keep them compact?
okay, fold the sheet in half. Tuck the corners inside each other so they match up. Then lay the sheet down. Fold over the edge where the corners are about 1/3 of the way in. Then fold over the other edge the rest of the way. Then fold it in half the long way, then in half again.
Here's one method:


1 Slip your hand into 2 top corners of the sheet.





2 With one hand inside each of the top 2 corners, fold the sheet (right sides together). Slip each of the top corners into one of the bottom corners.


3 Lay sheet on bed or table. Arrange and fold the corners neatly. Turn in selvage edges enough to make 4 straight sides.


4 Fold in half, then in half again. (All four corners will be stacked together, and sheet will be in a long strip.


Then fold the long strip in half, then in half (or thirds, depending on the size of the sheet) again to make a square.


Sheet should be a compact, neat square.


5 Smooth and place on shelf.





Here is another method:


STEP 1: Wash and dry your sheets before folding and storing them.


STEP 2: Remove sheets from dryer while they are still warm so that they do not wrinkle. If the sheets are already cool, put them back in the dryer with a moist cloth for a couple of minutes.


STEP 3: Put your right hand in the right top corner of the sheet, and fold the left top corner of the sheet over your right hand.


STEP 4: Keep holding the sheet with your right hand and gather up a bottom corner, folding it over the right hand as well.





STEP 5: Take the remaining corner and fold it over your right hand.


STEP 6: Fold the sheet into a square, then continue folding in half until you have reached the desired size.





It takes a little practice to get fast at doing either method.
