It’s been a little over a week since we moved into our new house and we finally got all the boxes broken down and out of the house. One of the first things I did was to organize our 2nd floor linen closet. I wanted to share How To Store Bed Sheets In a Pillowcase. For now, our linen closet will serve more as a multipurpose closet for cleaning, laundry, blankets, sheets, towels and toiletries. We do have a laundry that will house many of the items but not until I figure out the shelving. I am short and our new washer and dryer protrude a bit beyond the existing shelves so I need to figure out another solution but that is a project for another day. Finding a home for towels and toothpaste was first on the priority list. I have provided a few affiliate links to in case you see something you like.
First, roll up your sheets and fold flat one pillowcase.
How To Store Bed Sheets In a Pillowcase
Place the rolled sheets and flat pillowcase (on top of the rolled sheets) inside one of the pillowcases towards a corner.
The flat pillowcase on top of the rolled sheets inside made the rolled sheets look flat.
Fold the pillowcase in half.
Gather the pillowcase so you can twist.
Twist the excess sheet at the end so you can tie a knot.
Tying a knot will be easy if you are using a king pillowcase. In this particular case, this was a standard pillowcase so you can see it was a tiny knot. You don’t need to fit all of the sheet through completely to make the knot, just enough to keep it together.
That’s it, so simple and cute. Don’t they look like cute little grain sacks?

You will also see that I stored some of the sheets in a seagrass basket too. Rectangular low profile bins are perfect for sheets. I realize some of you may be saying, who has time to roll up sheets and place inside pillowcases? Honestly, it doesn’t take that much longer and if your household is anything line mine, you know that re-organizing and fixing stacked sheets that somehow end up in a messy pile, takes a lot of time. If you like tidy looking with little effort, then try this!

My mom does this same thing and I think it’s such a good idea! You can also see more of this closet over at HomeGoods where I shared the full makeover of this new closet in our home. Stay tuned, I have a hilarious post coming tomorrow about my grandfather and his pole dancing red headed friend. It’s a doozy!
