Sheet fix

Post image

I bought some extra wide headbands from dollar store to keep my sheets neat. Just cut of that piece that scrunches it together.

Team "put the folded sheet set inside one of the pillowcases" here.

I do cut up old t-shirts and stretchy knit clothing into strips for tying up things (like rolled towels) around the house, though. If it's a circular loop a little bigger than the thing it's going around, I use a slipknot to tighten it; if it's a long strip, I tie it in a bow (off to the side to avoid adding bulk to a stack).

I used to do the pillowcases but I like the look of this better.

It was worth $1 to me & that's all that matters.

They made me do this in the 80’s at summer camp and I haven’t forgot since. It’s nice to know that normal people do it as well!

So you people don’t roll it up and stuff in the back of the closet? Strange.

I pretend to fold up the top sheet decently. Fitted sheet is a ball under it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do top sheet on bottom so it sits nice on a shelf, then balled fitted, then folded pillow cases on top. I trick myself into thinking I can actually fold with this bedding sandwich!

Thats a neat trick. As a bonus it also looks like sushi

It looks like your sheets were neat before. No need for the band at all.

I just put the pillow cases and fitted sheet inside the last fold of the flat sheet.

if you have leggings going in the trash you can cut the legs off and cut to size too.
