You are about to spend 16 seconds of your life watching the following video below, that will change your sock drawer forever. You don’t have to be an OCD type to just love this DIY. I’m a very neat person on the outsides of my home, but my closets and drawers are more chaotic than I would like.
I have always put my own, my husband’s and kid’s socks together by stretching the top of one sock and looping the other through, to keep pairs together. This always has the tendency to stretch one top of the pair of socks, as well as increasing the probability of one sock coming loose and disappearing.
Additionally, this method has never made it easy to keep the drawer organized in any way, and to find what your looking for quickly. When I found this amazing DIY that’s so easy to follow, I tried reorganizing my sock drawer using their method before writing this article. It’s not only fun to do, but I have to tell you that I felt really satisfied after putting all my socks back into the drawer, when I was done. It was such a thing of beauty, that I pulled out my phone out to snap a pic and send it to my friends, who were all in awe.
Sometimes it’s just getting one chaotic area of your life organized, that can just make your day! It truly is the little things in life that can give you pleasure. Let us know if you will use this method after watching this short footage.
P.S. An added bonus just may be less socks disappearing into “SOCK HEAVEN”. Wouldn’t that be nice?

The Easiest Way To Fold and Pack T-Shirts With THIS Unexpected Wrinkle-Free Secret!
Traveling can be a lot of fun and adventure but packing for a trip is anything but that. It’s hard enough anticipating the items you’ll need and deciding what to wear, but the packing part is always hit or miss. Suitcases and bags never seem big enough to hold all the clothes we want to bring along and more often than not people end up over-packing.
With airlines charging a pretty penny for luggage these days, having more than one or two bags can quickly get expensive. Then there’s the issue of arriving at your destination and pulling out a bunch of wrinkled clothes. The last thing you want to do is look like a slob or have to iron all your clothes.
If you want to avoid all these travel packing nightmares you need to re-learn the art of packing. This Handimania video teaches a way of how to efficiently fold and roll shirts up into convenient, travel ready bundles. The shirts will stay wrinkle free and take up minimal space, leaving you room to pack even more stuff.
Lay a tee shirt out on a flat surface and smooth away any wrinkles. Grab the bottom hem where the seams meet on the two sides and fold the bottom 2-3 inches of it inside out. Rotate the shirt on it’s side and fold one side over about a third of the way, so that the crease meets at the neck opening, then fold back the sleeve onto the part you just folded over.
Take the other side and fold it the same way, with the crease/fold falling in line with where the neck opening is on that side, and fold back the sleeve again. You should now have a long, rectangular shaped tee shirt. Starting from the top on the shirt, begin to tightly roll it up, going all the way towards the bottom.
Take one side of the inside out bottom part of the shirt and turn it right side out while folding it over the rolled up portion. Do the same to the other side and you should end up with a tight and secure bundle.
Now all you have left to do is pack up the rolled tees and enjoy your trip. There are other methods for efficiently packing different articles of clothing, but this tee shirt one deals with the most commonly packed item.
It’s the easiest and most convenient method to master that we have seen by far. Hopefully it will save you some space and make traveling a little more stress free. Be sure to check out the video and share it with friends and family because it can only benefit everyone!

A Simple Life Hack To Fold a Fitted Sheet Quickly and Easily.
If you are the kind of person who cares about taking good care of your bedding but could use some help, the video you are about to watch below is for you. YouTuber Mary Elizabeth has done a full tutorial on bedding, which includes washing, making of the bed, storage and folding. The best part of this is the almost impossible feat of folding the dreaded fitted sheet! For years I have tried to fold fitted sheets and have failed over and over again.
I myself pride myself on being a good folder, but I have to admit I don’t have a foolproof technique on folding the fitted sheet, so that when you are ready to make the bed, there isn’t a lot of wrinkling. While Mary Elizabeth has lots of great tips in this video, my favorite, which she does in slow motion with written directions is THE FOLDING OF THE FITTED SHEET.
I’m not going to write the entire 8 steps here, since with each step of the tutorial, she visually shows you what she is doing. Let’s just say that it begins with holding the sheet length-wise inside the two corners, and then you bring your right hand to meet your left, folding the right corner over the left.
If I was to continue without you watching it, it’s going to sound too complicated…and it isn’t! She has come up with a foolproof way of doing this, so that the sheet ends up laying flat for the final folding, instead of a big lump that usually happens to me. No joke for years I have tried folding the fitted sheet and it jus ends up being a big wrinkled ball thrown in the closet!
It took me 2 times to get it right, and makes storage so much easier, and a sheet that isn’t crumpled. Her other tips about linens are great for people who could use help with other things. Enjoy this linen BOOT CAMP especially the fitted sheet life hack everybody could use!
