Try the 5-step method to roll towels up in a spa-worthy manner

When we put the towels back into the closets or in baskets, shelves and other holders in the bathroom - after they have been washed and dried - and we want to keep them ready to be used, we often just fold them as best we can. At other times, we maybe use the method of rolling them up to put as many as possible into the available space - a bit like when you pack a suitcase.

But even those rolled up towels can be made to look neat and attractive, so that both we and our guests will be impressed with these little touches when we reach for new towel. And it doesn't take long to make these cute towel rolls. With only five quick folds, you can master this very fast technique, (which is shown on TikTok).

As metioned, the method is also illustrated on the @effectivespaces TikTok account, and it takes a matter of seconds. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Stand in front of a bed or table, simply fold the towel in half, so that the two edges match and are on the opposite side.
2. Take the upper left corner and bring it to the center, then do the same with the diametrically opposite corner, the lower right one. You will have two tips pointing in opposite directions.
3. Place the towel folded vertically in front of you, take it in the center and make the bottom flap in front of you fold over the top flap. You won't have to match the tips perfectly, but let the one on the top layer stay a little lower than the one below.

4. Now start rolling from the straight edge that you find closest to you, from the bottom to the tips at the top
5. When you get to the tip, slip it into the folds that have formed on the roll and it's done.

It takes very little time, and you can fold all the towels that have come out of the dryer or off the clothesline in seconds. They will look great in wardrobes, on shelves or even left on the bed of guests who come to visit. And it's a method that works even with the smallest of towels! Watch the instructional video on TikTok to see how easy it is!
