Whether you’re moving out, decluttering or re-designing learning things like how to fold pants and other clothes to maximize your space is a great idea. My favourite method I’ve found so far is the Konmari method. This was created by Marie Kondo and is explained in her book The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up. I’ll be honest, learning how to fold by reading a book wasn’t my jam so I was excited to find a Udemy course by her. The course is called Tidy Up Your Home: The Konmari Method and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever bought!
The Marie Kondo folding method isn’t just about how to fold though. It’s also about how to declutter and clear your things and your life. It’s a form of minimalism with a touch of gratefulness in it too.
Below is my Marie Kondo youtube video showing step by step how to fold pants. While this video just looks at folding pants, I’ll be making other videos to show to fold other items to create the ultimate Konmari closest!
