tucked in pillow cases

This fabulous quick fix comes from Betty, whose room we saw in an earlier dorm tour. The idea is to transform your pillows, making them look fluffier, fuller, and more finished. How? Simply folding the outer edges and tucking them in. This trick works especially well if your pillow cases are just too big.

I would compare the process to wrapping a present. There is a lot of folding and refinishing the edges, but it leaves the pillow looking perfectly presentable.

beginning
First, lay your pillow out on a flat surface.

Fold the top flap inward and tuck in on the other side.

Fold again. This is where I was really reminded of gift wrapping.

Tuck the last bit in!

It should look a little something like this on the side.
