How do I make a bed?

Question

Im 16 years old and have never made a bed.

It's a pretty basic bed you know..sheets, a blanket, a comforter.

Help?

Answer 1

Put the fitted sheet ( the one with elastic )  over the mattress matching the corners of the sheet with the corners of the mattress.  The elastic will hold it in place.

Drape the flat sheet over the bed making sure it is centered.

Tuck the sheet under the foot of the mattress all along the foot of the bed.  Now, go to one of the corners at the foot of the bed and about 12" from the corner lift up the loose fabric and form a triangle.  Take the excess fabric and tuck it under the corner of the matress forming a neat corner.  Do the same on the other corner.

Spread your blanket over the bed.

Take your pillows and hold them under your chin ( seriously! between your chin and your neck ) to hold them still and slide your pillowcase onto the pillow.  Grab the hem of the pillow case, let it go from under your chin and shake the pillow into the case.  Put your pillows on your bed and you're done.

Martha has visuals for what I'm talking about with the corners of the flat sheet.  She taught me all that I know!  ha ha
