Bed sheets?

Does anyone have any tricks to folding fitted sheets? It drives me crazy every time and mine always look like crap.Bed sheets?
Watch this and learn...very easy!!

I fold in thirds - fold the sides in %26amp; overlap on each other, then do the same going the other direction. Even so, they still look like crap. I address that by sticking the whole sheet set %26amp; one of the pillowcases into the other pillowcase as if it were a bag, then put the stuffed bags in the linen closet. They look better in the closet that way %26amp; you can pull out the whole set without having to rummage through the rest of the sheets.
Let me see if I can explain this without actually showing you. Everyone I EVER show thinks this is really easy.


I take the seams in the corners on the same side of the sheet and put the tip of my forefinger in the corner of the seam (I use them the same way I would use the corners of a flat sheet). Then I transfer one corner onto the other keeping my finger in the corner of the seams folding the sheet in half lengthwise first and then down as I do it matching the corners on top of each other each time. It should at this point be small enough to lay it on the sofa, table or even the washer (like I do). Laying it flat should look like a rectangle with a rounded corner. I then fold the top down and the side in to make the edges even using the natural fold of the corner and then fold it in half using the corner seam to match the opposite seam. It should then look more like a square. Or to fold it in thirds keeping the rounded corner in the middle also squaring the sheet off.
I take the sides that don't have the elastic and fold it in half the width then in half again, then fold in half going a little over the uneven side. then fold in three then in three again, Looks great!


If there's elastic all around then you have to put the corners together. Then fold into a rectangle.
It's a bit tricky. At work when we have to refold them if someone took them out of the package I usually do the following. Where the elastic is, just let that be folded over as is. Flatten it as much as possible. Then I fold the sheet in thirds, then just fold it up.
It is very tricky. I just fold mine which has elastic all around, over then over and then over again ,it will still be a little fluffed out but it will fold given a little persistence.
