How often in the morning, hastily preparing for work, almost everyone wondered: where is my second sock? In the bustle of morning gatherings, the brain has not yet fully woken up, and it is not always possible to answer this question. That is why the most enterprising and faced with such a problem as the eternal confusion in the socks, and invented several ways to fold the socks so that they are not lost and always were paired.
Method number 1. Balloons
The most popular way to store products is the so-called balls. To do this, put 2 socks together and begin to turn inside out. It turns out that the product that was below, will be inside the ball and thus will never be lost. This method has one significant “but.” Balls from socks take up a lot of space on the shelf, which is not always convenient.
Method number 2. Tubules
Another well-known option for folding socks is tubules. For this method of storage, you will need an organizer or a separator made of cardboard. Fold two socks and carefully roll them up. Tubes of socks are placed in an upright position, close to each other. The minus of both the first and second options is that the ornament is closed, and it is not clear which pair you choose.
Method number 3. Squares
This method is suitable for those who wondered how to fold socks nicely. For example, if they are intended as a gift. Fold two socks with a cross so that one heel is in contact with the other. Toe bottom to bend to the middle. Do the same with the upper toe. One end must be worn on the resulting square. This folding method allows you to not only instantly distinguish which particular pair it is, but also save space.
Method number 4. Vertical
A relatively new and recently very popular method of storing not only socks, but also any clothing is the method of vertical storage, invented by writer and minimalist Marie Kondo. Her book "Magic Cleaning" was released in huge circulation and was simply an opening for a multimillion-dollar audience. In it, Marie offers a new and unusual way of storing things. The bottom line is that all the clothes do not stack in piles, as we used to do, but are placed vertically, folded.
Thus, taking out a thing from a row, you leave the remaining things intact and neatly folded. Unlike piles, when a single t-shirt is taken out, it can instantly destroy an entire carefully constructed pile. Kondo's idea has already been appreciated by a large number of followers around the world. And the eternal dilemma - how to fold socks or other clothes, is now irrelevant.
