How to fold a T-shirt correctly in 2 seconds?

Tired of taking out crumpled things from your closet? It's time to put an end to this mess - using the diagram, you can neatly fold a T-shirt in 2 seconds. This is a very simple way. You grab the item at two secret points, pick it up - voila! The compact “envelope” is ready!

Simple scheme

Most people prefer to store T-shirts in piles, that is, horizontally. To prevent them from becoming wrinkled during storage, use folding in the shape of a square.

How to quickly and correctly fold something?

1. Place the product in front of you.
2. Smooth the fabric with your hand.
3. Mentally draw a vertical line from your shoulder down. “Draw” the second line perpendicular to the first in the center of the T-shirt (see picture).
4. With your right hand, grab the product by the shoulder (point 1).
5. With the fingers of your left hand, grab the fabric at the intersection of two lines (point 2).
6. Raise your left hand, and with your right hand connect point 1 to point 3 on the back side of the product.
7. Place the envelope on the table and fold up the free sleeve.

Here's what happens:

By the way, you can fold shirts and polos in a similar way. The collar will remain ironed and not wrinkled.

Folds for vertical storage

Marie Kondo, a popular expert on organizing life and putting things in order at home, assures that storing things vertically is much more practical. You don't have to pull the item you need from the stack.The rows remain orderly and the clothes do not wrinkle.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Place a T-shirt or tank top in front of you on a hard surface.
2. Smooth it out with your hand.
3. “Draw” 2 vertical lines at the neckline on the left and right sides.
4. Fold the right side of the T-shirt inward.
5. Turn your sleeve to the right.
6. Fold the left side of the T-shirt inward.
7. Tuck the sleeve to the left.
8. You will end up with an elongated rectangle. Visually divide it into 3 parts.
9. Fold the rectangle sequentially along 3 lines.

You will get a roll like this:

You can fold all your clothes in this way. Marie's method is especially popular when packing for a trip. Clothes are rolled up so that they do not wrinkle and take up as little space as possible in the suitcase.

Board method

Finally, the last folding method that needs to be mentioned is using a special device. This is what a clothes folding board looks like:

It is used in stores to give T-shirts a neat and presentable look on display. But many people buy it for their home. With a special device, even a small child can fold clothes beautifully and compactly.

Instructions:

1. Place the T-shirt in the center of the fixture.
2. Fold the left flap together with the T-shirt. Bend the sash back.
3. Fold the right flap over the right side of the T-shirt. Bend the sash back to its original position.
4. Fold the bottom flap over the bottom of the T-shirt. Bend the sash.

Ready!

By the way, you can make such a device with your own hands. You will need a large cardboard box (for example, from household appliances), a ruler, scissors and tape.

Sometimes things become wrinkled after being stored in a closet. A huge number of people face this problem. You have to iron the shirt again to put it on. A competent approach will save valuable time. Once you master the folding technique, you can get dressed right away and still look neat.
