STEP 4

Create crisp corners

For the sides of the bed, create a smooth look by making crisp corners. Start by lifting the mattress slightly at the end of the bed and folding the end of the sheet tightly underneath. On one side of the bed, lift the excess fabric up on top of the bed, to create a 45 degree angle at one of the corners. Tuck the sheet that is hanging below the bed underneath tightly. Fold the remaining sheet on top of the bed over the side – creating another 45 degree angle at the corner – and tuck it under the side of the mattress tightly.

Tuck the sides of the sheet under the bed

Continue tucking the rest of the sheet along the side of the bed firmly, to ensure a smooth, tight surface. Repeat this on the other side.
