Okay, so maybe it isn’t too romantic for Valentine’s Day, but I have been folding my hubby’s boxers like this for years. Then yesterday, I had an entire pile of swim shorts to figure out and ding, ding, ding…fold them like I fold boxers! {BTW, my hubby would never let me do this post with his boxers, don’t know why!}
Here is what I started with:
Take a pair of shorts {note, this method is not for shorts with a regular waistband or that need to be ironed} and lay them flat:
Next, fold them into thirds:
Next, take the bottom hem and fold up 1/3 of the way:
Now, as you fold up the bottom one more time, you are going to open up the front of the waistband and tuck it in:
You will end up with a neat little package:
Perfect for lining up in a drawer or for tossing into a gym bag or travel bag:
Here is the step by step:
So, go enjoy your Valentine’s Day and *maybe* re-do a shorts drawer <3
Much Love,
Bev

Hey Bev. I thought I was pretty good at folding everything neatly and just had to click on your link at Home Decor and Organizing. Well, you taught me something. I’ve never folded boxers like this. Great tutorial, thanks for taking the time to show me a new trick.

What a neat method- I will surely be using it soon!
Thanks Pati! It is a lifesaver in a crowded drawer
I love a neat drawer and this is such a great way to fold and see quickly all the drawer contents. I love great tutorials. Thanks.
Thanks Bonnie! I hate trying to pull shorts from the bottom of the pile and this method is just so much easier! Hope you have a great week, Bev
