Five Unusual Ways to Fold Your Socks

Five Unusual Ways to Fold Your Socks



How many socks do you own? If you’re like most people, it’s probably too many. Socks tend to pile up in our dresser drawers and dresser top, in the corners of our laundry room, and stuffed in the back of our sock drawer until we need to buy another set just to have something clean to wear with our shoes. Some people even collect socks as their passion (yes, there’s actually an organization dedicated to this). But what if there was a better way to keep your socks organized and easily accessible?



sock of the month Subscription

As silly as it may sound, a sock of the month subscription is one of our favorite ways to fold socks. Each month, you’ll receive a pair of unique socks delivered straight to your door. The idea behind a sock of the month club is that there are more colors and patterns available in an individual pair of socks than we could ever imagine and purchasing a new pair on-demand helps cut down on sock clutter and redundancy.

Coolest Socks Subscription

The coolest socks subscription on the market is Stance's. Monthly sock of the month clubs make a perfect gift for men and women alike. If you're looking for a great deal on cool socks, Stance is your best bet. The average pair of fun socks only costs about $10, so you can treat yourself every single month! It might sound like an expensive habit but it will be totally worth it as your feet feel ten times more comfortable throughout your day. Plus, it's a great way to express yourself each month; there are plenty of hilarious designs (and super-stylin' patterns) available from colorful geometric prints to cheeky phrases that let everyone know what kind of mood you're in—from hopeful to hungry... that is!



How to Save Space by Storing Socks Flat

Who says that socks should only be folded in half? One great way to save space and prevent clutter is by storing your socks flat. If you've purchased a sock of the month club, it can also make for an easy way to keep track of what month you're on. First, fold your socks into thirds—much like you would fold a piece of paper—then roll them up like a burrito until they are about three inches long. Next, secure each one with an elastic band. Instead of throwing these bands out once you've reached the end of your sock-of-the-month subscription (which should give you an idea how long it will take), save them and use them as bookmarks when reading ebooks or magazines online.



How to Use Laundry Baskets For Extra Storage

A laundry basket is a portable storage solution that’s perfect for bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and more. And since laundry baskets are so affordable, it makes sense to buy several and keep them in key areas of your home where you need extra storage. That way, when you fold clothes or put them away after a load has been washed, you can stash any items that aren’t being used in an extra basket. A basket under your bathroom sink could hold hair brushes and bobby pins; a basket near your front door could store gloves or scarves; baskets next to your bedroom closet could be used for out-of-season clothing or electronic chargers; another small one on top of your dresser could hold jewelry.



How to Store Your Socks in Colored Containers

Why store your socks in plastic containers? The answer is simple: You’ll be able to easily identify what you’re looking for and be forced to choose a pair of socks that match. Plus, there are several benefits that plastic can offer your favorite piece of clothing. For example, it helps keep them clean, dry and odor-free. Of course, there are other methods you can use as well; but below are some tips on how you can store your socks in colorful containers.
