We fold the shirt correctly so that it does not wrinkle
They are greeted by clothes, but escorted by the mind. But here's the bad luck. Without proper care for the first one, it will not work to reach the next stage. Nowadays, choosing a unique style is not so difficult. But in the pursuit of individuality, everyone forgets about the classics.
Shirt. A versatile piece of clothing. Classic white - for official events. Motley - cozy gatherings with friends or colleagues. Elegant black - for social events, a date, meeting the parents of a beloved or beloved.
The matter is small - its correct styling. After all, with her, when there is practically no time, there will be no need to run in search of something to stroke her with. And not to wrinkle such a sensitive element of clothing, as practice shows, is far from always possible. Not every hotel has an iron or a steamer.
The shirt is on the road. How not to wrinkle it in a suitcase
The first rule is that the shirt should be after washing. There is no point in laying wet and / or dirty. All of the methods below do not work in this case.
NOTE! The fabric of the garment should dry without assistance. Only natural drying guarantees a positive result. This requires at least 30 minutes.
Sleeves up or down
Step by step, this method looks like this:
- The right arm is at the middle of the shoulder seam. Left for the bottom of the shirt, a fold is made to the dorsal region.
- Turn the sleeve to the other side. Be sure to ensure that the folds do not intersect with each other.
- Similar actions with the second sleeve.
- Mentally divide the back into three relatively equal parts, then fold the product twice.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION! You should start from the bottom, not from the top.
Then we turn the thing with the front side and adjust the collar. One of the best ways. Even a child can cope with it. Simple and practical at the same time.
But all of this applies to a long-sleeved shirt. For short ones, this method looks a little different:
- Buttoned shirt back up.
- The sidewall is bent to the center line. A fold is made in the middle of the seam in the shoulder area.
- Similar actions with the opposite part.
- Fold at the bottom several times.
One of the most popular methods due to its effectiveness. If you follow all the recommendations, the risk of getting crumpled clothes is reduced to zero. The only drawback is its non-compactness. A shirt packed this way will take up a lot of space in your travel bag.
How to roll compactly
The step-by-step instructions for this method are utterly banal.
- Fasten all buttons except for the top at the neckline and cuffs.
- Lay out the shirt with the shelves down.
- Mentally draw a parallel line to the side seam from mid-shoulder to hem.
- Tuck to the middle, grasping the edges with your hands.
- Turn the sleeve the other way.
- Make a fold from the hem to about the height of your palm.
- Roll up into a neat roll.
Absolutely any person can cope with such styling. In addition, its undoubted plus is the convenience of transportation. Even the smallest suitcase will hold about 7-8 packed shirts. Ideal for off-site formal events.
Down or up using paper. Shop like effect
Place the buttoned shirt with the buttons down. Use A4 sheet for the top. A magazine or document pad is ideal. Then fold one of the sides towards the center and apply a sleeve. The same steps are done with the second half. If the shirt is too long, bend the bottom edge of the shirt. With short ones, this stage can be removed.
The opposite side is superimposed on top, with preliminary folding on the edge of the paper. After that, you need to remove the paper as carefully as possible. If you follow all the rules, you get the same thing that you see on the shelves of clothing markets and stores.
The principle of stacking upward looks a little different. Absolutely all the same actions, only the sleeve is bent up and then folded in half. There are many videos on YouTube showing this method in practice, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If it's not clear in words - in most videos, everything is clearly shown and explained.
Marie Kondo Method
One of the most sophisticated and beautiful styling methods. Many fell in love for its simplicity and sophistication. In stages it looks like this.
- Unbutton the shirt and put it so that the buttons are facing down. One side is folded towards the center.
- The next step is to fold the sleeve in half.
- We do the same actions on the opposite side and with the other sleeve.
- The finishing touch is to fold the shirt in half.
IMPORTANT! It is necessary to fold the sleeve so that it is completely invisible from under the hem of the shirt.
How beautiful to wrap a shirt for a gift
The first and most important point is the color of the package. Obviously, for example, a pink bag with flowers will not be suitable for a gift on February 23rd. It is strictly forbidden to use colors that set off each other. This will ruin the idea of the future present. The second aspect is material. It can be plain paper, fabric, and much more. The following types of packaging are most common.
Handwritten package
We draw the diagram onto cardboard, after which we make folds along the dotted lines. Be sure to prepare a drawing in advance. The next step is decorating. It can be a beautiful ribbon, a special pattern, or a “collar”. The end result is an inexpensive and practical product.
For a gift with add-ons
The most creative option is a shirt bag. It's not so hard to make it. Put the prepared gift in the box and wrap it so that the butt seam falls on the longest part. The collar is made of paper of a different color. Strips 5 cm wide are more than enough.Fold the edges and fold in half along the long side. It should be glued so that it protrudes by about one or two centimeters.
Materials and tools
You don't have to look for something special to decorate a gift. Ideally, everything can be done from scrap materials. The main thing is to add a pinch of love and creativity. Most often, corrugated paper, fabrics, decorative nets are used. Felt, transparent film or burlap look no less stylish.
Glue, scissors with cardboard will greatly facilitate the packaging process. If accuracy and symmetry are important, then you can also use a ruler, flexible meter, tape measure, etc.
