Bulky blankets and pillows cause a lot of trouble for housewives, especially when they are not used, but only take up a significant amount of space in the closet.

It would seem that the solution is obvious – a vacuum bag.

But if you don't plan on using this storage device, you can use a clever trick and fold the blanket so that it turns into a pillow.

The instructions that will help you fold your sleeping accessories compactly and beautifully consist of only 4 steps.

1. Fold the blanket over from the short side by a quarter so that the fold faces down.

2. Visually determine the center line of the product and fold half of the blanket from the long side to the center. This time the fold should be upward.

3. Place the remaining half of the blanket over the folded half and roll the blanket from the unfolded end. Three turns should be enough.

4. Turn the resulting pocket inside out from one edge and tuck the other side of the blanket into it. Now you can evaluate the results of your work – the blanket is folded compactly and neatly.
