Fold Those Pants

Marie Kondo came blasting into our lives with her book, 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing,' and ever since then, we cannot tidy or throw away a single thing in our homes without her coming to mind. Does this item bring us joy? Shouldn't all our books 'live' in the same space? So too with folding. She introduced us to methods for folding clothes that make so much sense that it doesn't make sense that we ever folded another way. When it comes to packing for traveling, the KonMari method is the only way to save space and prevent wrinkles.

Just follow these directions for folding pants into a suitcase: fold the pants in half vertically and if the seat or butt part of the pants sticks out, then fold it against the pant legs. Then, fold the legs up toward the waistband, leaving a slight gap right before the waistband. Then fold up one more time towards the waistband, and your pants should look like the photo above.
