Here's a quick video on how to fold t-shirts to make them "look/appear" as if they are folded perfectly while making it easy to see what you have and maximizing space inside the drawer. I've mentioned before in previous videos that I realllllly don't like to fold. However, folding isn't as bad when you use a magic tool to help you get the fold right! In fact, it can actually be fun and the end result is a beautiful drawer of perfectly folded t-shirts.

OMG thank you!
How to Fold a Shirt:
Step One: buy a thing that folds shirts
Pumple Gunkos lol
that is true tho
Pumple g hb learn how to fuckin learn how to fuckin fold the clothes inside or wasting money😭😭😭
Such bull... hope she was being sponsored.
You can also use a magazine or catalog and you put the T-shirt face down then put the magazine on top of the neck and fold it around the magazine and the end take the magazine out , will be a perfect shape every time and at the end and will look super as you see at stores without out having to buy more junk products.
I like to live dangerously, I'm gonna take this one step further. *Folds the folded shirt one more time*
I like you, you don't follow the instructions exactly.
hahahahaha
omg ur hillarious!
Fay Bæ wasn't that funny I just like the comment
Fay Bæ f
Fay Bæ hon that wasn't funny 😬😏 jk 'I'm still rolling '
When she said only 30 minutes to do 😂
+Kim Doan It would take me 2 minutes: Just grab all my clothes, make into a amorphous ball and put inside the drawer. If the drawer does not close, I adjust one or two times with my hand. If then the drawer still doesn't close, I accept the faith and leave it there like it wants to be.
+Marcos Vinícius Petri
or smash the fucking drawer until it closes lol
+Kim Doan No, but that's okay since she bought a special piece of plastic junk to help her. After she folds she can do a video of throwing away all her superfluous crap--that would be a real improvement in organizing.
Sorry if I'm harsh, but she stole this method (she added the plastic thing) and I don't like people taking credit for the work of others.
+linuxgirl a lot of people have them, they are not pieces of junk so back off
+Samantha Lewis A lot of people have them so they are not junk? That's logic.
Wow, so much hate in the comments.
I honestly find this amazing. If you really don't have much space to work with, it really does help to know how to compact so much stuff into such little space.
I really should invest in one of these t-shirt folders.
Well, I'm going to make one of those tools out of cardboard.
Same
Dude I made my own out of cardboard and tapped it up so it wouldn't give or break
Death__ Cloud__ *tapped*
ShinobiPanda 23 I made one out of cardboard and it works perfectly!
I was thinking the same thing
I tried this way to fold my T Shirts and it was amazing how much space i saved, in fact this is the first time I save space after organizing. Good way, easy and fast.
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included czcams.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
I made a similar tool out of some duct tape and a cardboard box, and all 6 of the folding sides are the size of a 8' by 11.5" sheet of copy paper. I think this is ingenious.
thanks for the tip, will save a couple of bucks I'm sure :-)
How to Fold T-Shirts LIKE Sheldon Cooper
Bazinga!
Zas en toda la boca (Bazinga in spanish)
OMG haha
@JonathanSelaya I know right I love that show.
Same here!
I made of of these tools out of cardboard (ended up buying the Amazon one) but my dresser looks SO organized now. It’s so simple and I think it’s actually fun to do.
Feeling quite surreal that I have only found out about this video after about 7 years.
Great video Alejandra! You're the kindest soul ever! Keep going!
That was incredibly useful. I'm spring cleaning and reorganizing my drawers. I still didn't know I had so many shirts. Half of them are gone. But this really makes things a whole lot easier.
Having worked in retail, I can fold like that without a device to do it with and very quickly.
Retail folding methods are useless for the home. Retail folding is to make the items easy to sell. Home folding is to make the items easy to put away.
purplemutantas Agreed but we had a very similar device that we used to display tshirts.
Escape2Muszik by
Well you just impressed everyone, hahhaa😂
Omg right! I was saying to myself while pointing at the video, "you've obviously never worked retail!"
"So here's the tool you need.."
We need a tool? I don't want to spend money on one.
*shows gadget*
Oh perfect I already have one. It's called hands. It's free and can be used for many things
Does that mean you don't use a telephone because your mouth is free?
A telephone on the other hand is actually important. You're not just going to swim to the other side of the ocean to say "Hi" to your cousin and swim back just because you have a mouth, that's too long. Telephones are so much easier for communication. And only if you want, you don't spend $20 dollars on a tool that helps you do an action you can do by yourself.
Truffledor, funny you should make this comment. I'm a professional organizer as well and I teach people to live simply as well as organize. One of the things I stress is getting rid of tools like this. Get rid of gadgets, free up space and a person doesn't need a dozen of anything. I've been folding shirts like this for years without a tool.
Nice! And I agree, we just can use what we've been given for free to the max, no need to take up space or use money for something else. It's simpler.
Truffledor Animations exactly
This video changed my life! Before beginning to find clothes my two sons would tear apart their dressers looking for the perfect shirt. Now their dressers remain organized because they don't have to search through the entire dresser to fine one shirt. I know how to fold shirts without the board, but have bought a folder for my 10 year old son. He now folds clothes independently and loves folding clothes, so I have one less family member to fold clothes for!!
Fantastic. Saves room. Makes finding your Tshirts easier...I have a spare drawer now...More Tshirts!
I'm a new subscriber... OMG... a folding tool??? I'm obsessed. Have to get one. Thank you for sharing. My T-shirt drawer is awful.
I’ve always struggled with getting a fold that looked good. This was very helpful. Thank you!
I fold over the sleeves then roll up the shirt. Takes up less space and you can easily see what you want
That's good for space saving but you can't see what's on the shirt. If you have a lot of black t-shirts like I do you don't know which one you are selecting without unrolling it.
"This only took 30 minutes" - Naaah * Throws T-shirts in cupboard and walks away*
Lol
LoL
😂
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
What I love most is that folding t-shirts like that is not only easier to find each individual shirt, but you can store MORE t-shirts in one drawer!
Thank you Alejandra! I really appreciate the efforts you put into these videos, and helping out all of us disorganized messes.
Hi Alejandra, I just came across your videos and am already learning a lot from you about organizing. I think you are an Amazing person, Thank you for your videos & Thank you for helping people.
Thank you very much for helping organize my house and mind :-)
she has the shirt folder that Sheldon Cooper has!
+Emily Sullivan Sheldon Cooper would love her!
Thank you for making this video!! I have a very small (short and not very deep) dresser drawer that I haven't really been able to put more than a few shirts in. After watching this, it took me 10 minutes to measure the drawer and make the same tool out of cardboard for the perfect size! Now I can fit 20+ shirts in there easily!! Thanks !!
I'm obessed with organizing, but now I'm obessed with your channel! Can't wait to see more ❤️
I already do that with out the tool, but thanks for the idea, i will buy it for my kids. Thanks so much for all your videos and ideas. I been looking for someone to help me to keep my house clean and organize and your ideas make to much easy and fun for me, thank you :)
I use this technic to fold with out the toolkit works!!! It's very easy and saves lots of time
Me too. This tool is used in stores
Alejandra thank you..this was exactly what I was looking for to organize my son's drawer...disregard all those negative comments.you're doing great. Thank you!!!
I love these videos! They inspire me to be more organised, people are hating on you because they wish they had the effort to do this! Xx
Big Bang Theory folder! I've had one for years, in pink though. I can't wait to tackle my dresser like yours, thank you so much for this idea. I've seen rolled shirts in drawers (took up too much room, though it looked nice) and I already use the folder with regular stacking, time to combine the two!
I know that there aren't any methods available for the people who are posting videos on you tube that could possibly regulate the maturity level of the comments being posted. So I would like to remind everyone who leaves a comment to show respect. There will come a day when the way you handled yourself on a public forum such as this, will bite you in the ass. Let's just skip all that future embarrassment and just show the world what good people we all are. ;-) I think she did a great service with her video. It solved my current closet dilemma.
Just watched your video on the above and I am impressed, I have tons of t shirts, so brought two folders. No more buying duplicates! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this and who doesn't love a perfect folded drawer... My inner wannabe organizer is inspired! Thanks for the tips!
been watching Sheldon on Big Bang doin this for years 😁
This is great Alejandra! I've been packing my suitcase (and drawers) like this for years now and even wrote a book on it haha! I color co-ordinate my suitcase even too. So good to know there are others out there thinking about and executing the better methods than rolling and stacking. I'm a professional musician so this makes life on the road so much easier. (side note, I'd love to share my book with you if you wanted, it's called, How To Pack Like A Rock Star but either way, great video :)
Hardly perfect
I have this tool for folding my cloths. I love what you did with organizing them. I will be doing this very soon as I have a ton of t-shirts. Thanks A.
That drawer looks great! Thanks for the good idea
Yes, you can easily do it by hand. I'm small so I think the tool would be too large for my clothes anyway! I've used this idea to fold most of my pullover t-shirts, camisoles, and sweaters. It works great; MANY more items fit in a drawer this way, and it's very easy to find the one you want. Cardigans I'm still storing stacked on an open shelf.
Does that fold not crease your t-shirts when you take it out to wear it ?
3 years late, but since its being forced down by something other than your hands, it’ll most likely be creased on the sides.
I have had a similar folding tool for years and never used it. I recently downsized and moved, then stumbled upon this video. I am so glad the unused folding tool was still with my laundry things. It works great and now I will be able to fit more t-shirts in my drawer LOL. Thank you from a sixty-five-year-old grandma! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? 👩🦳
I'm glad to see you use the Konmari Method -I'm quite a fan. It keeps everything in the closet, and around the house so neatly organized! 😊
GENIUS!
No one:
My broke self: Well I'm doing this with my hands!
Thank you so much. I've lived with messy t-shirt drawers for years but no more!
Wow! Your T-Shirt fold reminds me of how my former husband (deceased), father of my kids, and I both learned to fold shirts. We learned when we were shipped off to military school for the last two years of high school. It was the best thing that happened to both of us. We both graduated and he went to college on a a full athletic scholarship and I went on an academic scholarship and after we both graduated from law school. So, all in all, military school was a good decision our parents made for us --lol, we sure didn't choose it. But your fold apparatus provides almost the exact final product that we learned in school. We attempted to teach it to our kids, but we always seemed to be leaving a step or two out and couldn't remember which one. He died not long ago at the very young of 50 (cancer) and my daughter's folded shirts resemble yours, but they don't stand up in the drawer. I'm super excited about purchasing the item you said you've linked to. I've also signed up for more of your videos and may sign up for your organizational course. I am by far the most unorganized person in the world. When I practiced law, I had an incredibly organized legal assistant who prepared all of my trial books and kept my office in tip top shape, I often wish I had someone just like her at home. My home office, closet, bathrooms, family room and command central station are nightmares. I enjoyed your video and loved the nostalgic trip back to the past.
Thanks

nice
Great idea! My husband pulls the shirt from the bottom of the stack and then I have to fold all the shirts on top. It's so annoying.
If he unfolds his own shirts, why would you have to fold them back up? Perhaps he needs to be responsible for the mess he makes.
JTinGR I agree 100%! If I'm nice enough to do his laundry, fold it and put it away, then if he unfolds them he can re-fold it or wear wrinkly shirts.
***** I have a man and if he unfolds the clothes that I already folded and put away, he can re-fold them himself or wear wrinkly clothes. I am not his maid!
I have the flip and fold and I absolutely love it!! I mostly use it when packing for a trip because it folds the shirts so flat that you can get ore in the suitcase! I have my T- Shirts hang in the closet, but. I think I will change them to the dresser. I would have never though to fold them over 1 more time and store them this way! Thanks !!
It is a nice tool! You can easily and very cheap make it out of cardboard. That way you can adjust the size to your draw or cupboard. I like these videos, it inspires me to keep the house more organised. Thank you!
In general I like the idea, but
1 - Most dresser drawers are deeper than this, so you waste space if you do not make the T's taller in the drawer.
2 - When you removed some shirts they were equally distributed, but if you took 4 from the front the others in the back would flop over I'm pretty sure.
3 - The folding tool really folds in wrinkles.
The wrinkles annoy me too. I think just fold the normal way(e.g. smoothing wrinkles), then fold it again. Don't need no stinking tool.
Wrinkles...
I get that some people think this tool is "useless", but I disagree. Of course I started folding clothes like any regular person, with my hands. When trying the horizontal stacking for the first time, I realized this was a much better method than vertical stacking, because I would inevitably try to either A. stuff more clothes than could fit vertically at a time, and B. dismantle a drawer just to find ONE specific item, thereby creating way more laundry tasks to do and clothes to re-fold. An absolute mess.
Once i started horizontal stacking, i quickly realized the benefit of not having to sift through and mess up drawers every time i was looking for a specific item. So I kept doing it and very quickly run into an issue - same width / same size folds are an absolute requirement for this method to work. I'd end up dismantling drawers and redoing folds over and over again because they wouldn't fit right, and it wasn't working.
Once i got the tool, each and every headache went away. I didn't need to refold a shirt 5 times because i got it "right" the first time. Once it was placed in the drawer, since it was sized perfectly, adding/removing clothes from the same drawer was a breeze and never undoes the work i did before.
This method + the tool has put to rest a problem I've suffered from my entire teenage + adult life. I am chronically lazy, disorganized, a mess, etc. I never used clothes i like, I never could find them either. Now it's much different. Now I have a completely organized wardrobe that **stays organized over time**, and doing laundry is actually much easier, straight forward, and less time consuming - not only because the process is faster (tool does one fold + place in drawer nice and neatly), but also because I'm not doing double laundry every time (i.e. folding the clothes from drawers i've dismantled while looking for specific items throughout the week). In the past, I'd just keep my laundry in the basket because it was easier than dealing with drawers and finding items,but the side effect is messy surroundings + wrinkled clothes. Now, clothes go immediately from dryer -> basket -> bed -> folding -> drawers. It's one headache finally off my shoulders, for good.
So to the people who think this tool is useless, I'm proof you're wrong. It might be useless to you, but to me, its very powerful and a huge time saver.
Thanks so much for this tip. I just ordered the t shirt folder online. Anything to make clothing storage easier!
I've seen the other t-shirt folding videos...yours is the best ty ty ty
Sheldon Cooper likes this vid.
sweet..I'm a single 27 year old father and college student and that tool is freaking sweet!
love this idea I started doing this and there is so much more room. thanks
Thank you for this fast t-shirt folding method! I hope I can buy one, or make one using the cardboards I might have around the house
Good idea! But when I fold i use my hands its really quick
I learned how to this from Sheldon.
I like that, very clean and organize colors ..
I love this idea. I don't have that folding tool. But I followed the folding technique and it gave a great fold. Help alote in my closet. Thank you for your idea👏👏
Sheldon Cooper called...he wants his clothes folder back
Who the fuck is Sheldon Cooper? Is he your boyfriend?
This is satisfying to watch. All the messy dirty people out there are mad at this vid😂
Girl, u guys are AWESOME!! I wish I had a one of those T-shirts that y'all made...awesome t-shirt folding method!!!
When I saw those T's in the drawer I wanted mine to look like that!!! I went and bought the folder right away. Thanks!!!!!
Ended up here after my wife told me to organize my shirts.😒😖. Thanks for the video.
How did your organizing go?
I made that magical tool out of boxes 🤣
Didn't have the money to buy a fancy board but was able to do it with my hands. I have always been horrible with folding/keeping neat drawers and this was very helpful, thank you :)
This helped so much!
I am going to camp and this will save so much space in my suitcase.
I should have watched this ages ago
Doesn't this leave the shirts quite wrinkled when you go to wear them? I either lay the flat on a big shelf or hang them up. It may take a little more space but at least you're not wearing a wrinkled shirt or spending a ton of time ironing a T-shirt.
the wrinkles bother me quite a bit as well haha. I think with men's tshirts its better to hang them imo.
I did this without the tool, and it came out the same. It works with any kind of shirt.
OMG - I actually bought one of these contraptions and re-folded all my t-shirts. I'm such a geek, but my t-shirt drawer looks amazing. It really is a good system. I wouldn't do the color coordination because the upkeep would be insane. Wait, this is already insane.
Thanks a lot. My personal environment is a reflection of where I am at mentally etc. And Vice versa. So I find this pretty neat. And easy. A degree of organisation frees up my mind somewhat.
Soo that's what Tapanga has been up to
"You... Can... See.. That... This... Does... Not.Take.Long" ;)
you helped me a lot on folding t-shirts thank you
I love this tool! It helps my kids fold perfectly!
there is someone on youtube that shows you how to make one of these gadgets
Who
+Bianca O me
who?
I made one with a pizza box (I got a clean one from the pizza place when we stopped for lunch one day- they gave it to me for free)- it already had the folds you need, so you just cut it to the size you want it to be...you can make kid sized and adult sized ones this way....
drinking game: take a shot every time she says "t shirt"
I like how those shirts stand at attention, great video 👍
thank you for this helpful tutorial~
I liked how she stacks her t-shirts but a thing to notice is that when she folds the t-shirt from left to right, it isn't folded perfectly in fact there are all wrinkles and I don't think there is a difference between using hands and that product. It takes about the same time.
If you have a stack of tshirts (like my bf and each wear at least one tshirt a day, and he wears a work shirt over his, so there will be about 25-30 shirts a week) using a tool like that really does make it go faster- I made one real quick using a pizza box (I asked for a clean one when we stopped and got lunch one day)- it already has all the folds, so it just needs to be cut down to the size I like.
did you get this from sheldon cooper
You are a life saver I hate folding clothes but this video just helped so much
i have this thing since it first came out. it really works as good as how she is using it.
I only have one question Does your shirts stay wrinkle free?
it stays wrinkle free if u fix all the wrinkle after every flip... the girl in the video jus flipped her shirt without fixing all the wrinkles, like, that made me so mad. and then she said ''we got a perfectly folded t shirt'' im like hell naw thats not perfect at all
i mean did u see what she did at 3:19? she didnt fix the wrinkles
also look at 3:32... so ugly not perfect at all lmao
iman pro jhjghgg
iman pro jhjghggyghgfgfyf
pffft I can do that without that stupid folding board..
Hollie Spann I cant.
Hollie Spann
Good for you:)
You help me with organizing SO much!!!!!!
I like the way your t shirt dreyer was organized and folded I will try it
It makes me sad that people think they need this lol.
Lol
***** excellent point lol
+Mimi V ba ha ha ha...please don't be a bitch
+twentyønepiløts! at the disco Thanks for being nice! Let's see what else, being 21 too many pilots & for losing your cool at a dance party. . . cute ø's by the way, sweety pie ;oD
why? Many people don't actually know how to do things.Very helpful thks
That's from big ban theory
thank you
Thanks for this! I'm trying out konmari and she encourages you to display your folded clothing the same way. All the konmari folding videos show small people clothing being folded and I was unsure how to fold my oversized items. I found the pliio which is pretty awesome but pricey to have for every piece of clothing. I sure do like to drool over its organizational perfection, though! However, I DO have the flip-flap or whatever it's called that you show in your video and I'm so happy I can continue to use it, but just need to take the one extra folding step. So glad I won't feel the need to purchase another organizatonal tool. Thanks for the tutorial!
I've only got about 10 t-shirts, so I guess It just doesn't take me as long.
Remember Julia Roberts in the movie "Sleeping With The Enemy"? She had to have the bathrooms towels perfectly aligned, canned foods labels out and the t-shirts perfectly folded. If she broke those rules, she was in deep trouble.
Thanks for sharing how to make that unique gadget!
Great enthusiasm! Thanks for the tips.
