Master Marie Kondo's signature KonMari fold! Learn how to fold your basic clothing items, including tank tops, t-shirts, long-sleeved t-shirts, thin sweaters, pants and shorts.
This is a game changer. I have so much space in my closet now, and I don't have to use an ugly rack I was using to fit all my clothes. And its even good for packaging clothes for when you travel. Mad respect to this woman.
My shirt with prints: I fold it with the design facing outwards (I call it a reverse Konmari) I do this so I know which shirt has prints/logo/picture (they are all lined up vertically in the drawer by colour) The plain ones: I follow the original KonMari Been doing this for 2 years (combined with minimalism) and loving this!!!! I keep what I'm happy with and what I use!!!!!
Me too. Because i have some shirts with same color and they have the logos in front so i have to fold it outward. But Marie also said in one of her talkshow when an audience asks if she can fold it like that, she said of course
I finally figured it out. I save things out of guilt, my Mom made this for me or it used to be hers; my sister-in-law brought this to me from wherever, ect. I keep more things out of guilt than joy. Hardly anything gives me joy...it's just stuff.
Lol, I wouldn't say "hardly anything gives me joy..."... But I save stuff out of guilt or sentiment. Other things just last forever bc I take good care of my stuff lol, but get bored with them, like clothes, so I buy newer styles, then I have an overabundance. You know you have a lot of jeans & Ts when you're looking up how to maximize drawer space... On YT... At 2am...as you're putting the laundry away! Why now? I forgot all about them after I plopped them on my bed at 6pm... Ughh, haha!
Me too. Especially with relatives that are no longer alive - my grandma bought me these dolls, she had not a lot of money but saved and picked them out just for me. Or my uncle’s stamp collection that meant the world to him. I feel awful to get rid of something like that. But I just don’t have the space and don’t really want the items anyway, I just don’t want to feel like a bad or ungrateful person. It’s so hard! But also - they gave me these things to enjoy, not to burden me with them. So idk why I feel so bad about it. I’m going to start by getting rid of ONE thing, and take pictures of it just in case I ever want to look back on it. I think it’ll be easier to keep going after that, once I see that the world didn’t come to an end lol
I wonder how many people are finally getting around to decluttering now that everyone’s forced to stay home 🤔 I don’t fold my clothes EXACTLY like this but I’ve been doing something similar for the last year and it’s been so helpful.
And how many people are realizing that they are never intended to declutter and they were using their busyness to cover that and make themselves feel better...lol 🤣
@@ShadowSailor It keeps the bulk of the neckline, shoulder, and sleeve seams from making the folded garment 'fat" at one end of the fold, so they go in the drawer more evenly.
I am listening to her book right now, and couldn't picture the folding method, so I found this. I had that same "meditative" reaction to watching it. And I actually am a meditator!

I'm finding this very soothing to watch . Who would have thought that watching clothes being folded would be soothing and makes you want to go fold up your laundry straight away. I do fold some stuff this way just not all. So will be folding like this for everything though from now on.
Growing up I detested cleaning but through the years reorganizing my closet after a hectic period started to feel like a mental cleansing ritual. I'm going through my wardrobe right now before the spring season + semester hits and I started folding my clothes with this method. I gained so. Much. Space. Not to mention how much more orderly it all looks. Thank you!
At first I was skeptical of this method, as I was so used to stacking, but this is a GAME-CHANGER right here! Thanks Marie, for coming into my life and really making a difference!
me too! i used to stack clothes horizontally and never found anything i wanted to without messing up the entire wardrobe, but thanks to her, i can both find clothes easily AND i have a ton of space in my wardrobe
This is wizardry. Love it, this is how im gonna fold ALL of my clothes from now on. I have double the drawer space!? How?! Plus, its so relaxing that I have been folding my clothes for an hour and I think once im done I'm gonna do my family's.
We have to imagine the pretty little sparkles that eminate from our folded little bundles! I worked at the gap a hundred years ago, so at least my jeans are folded right! Love her!
I love the part where they stand on their own. 😍 I never thought I could do it... That too so easily. In the first attempt itself I could get it. There's such joy and satisfaction when I could also make my clothes stand on their own. Love it!! ❤️
If you have kids, change it up with any outfit set! My little one has a ton of 2 piece pajamas, which made it hard for her to pair them when I had all the tops and bottoms seperate, in seperate drawers. So I put these "PJ Burritos" together! You fold the shirt totally, then take the pants, fold them in half short ways, and put the shirt on the end of the pants (the foot end) now roll the whole thing up... And.. Voila! A PJ burrito! My kid loves pretending to eat them when she pulls a pair our for the night. Great Kondo Mod!
I’ve been folding like this for a year and never gone back! It really doesn’t take much longer than how I used to do it, and I feel much happier about how my clothes are stored.
Thank you Kon Marie for making this video for your folding technique. I've seen several videos from other youtubers and they all leave out that little gap when it comes to the "half fold". Glad I can reference the proper Kon Marie fold staight from the originator!👍🌸
I felt soooo happy to fold my clothes this way. From now on, folding clothes isn't a chore anymore, it's a relaxing and fun way to express gratitude. Skill added. Plus my house won't look messy too. ☺ Thank you so much Marie kondo. 😊💜
Ahhh, thank you!! 🙏 I’ve been meaning to organize my closet forever now and I know I have a tendency to overlook my clothes if I can’t see them. Folding them like this and having them “stand” in the closet is going to help so much! 😭👏
So you overlook the ones in the back instead of on the bottom. Does it make that much difference? (Actually, I'm beginning to understand the point of this. I thought it was just a meaningless aesthetic exercise.)
I’ve been doing the folding since I was in elementary, that’s how my grandma taught me and the way you organized the drawers, ugh Grandmas knows best...and she checked it every week if you maintain your drawer neatly 😂
Thank you so much Marie for this folding technique. Folding my clothes this way has helped me appreciate my clothes and care for them deeply. It’s as you say, “Folding is an act of caring” 🙏🏼
I started cleaning ang organizing my closet yesterday and I did it in KonMari way ( the fold and the vertical arrangement). It didn't felt like a chore at all, I felt like I meditated the entire time and it feels like my room is more breathable. Thank you Marie Kondo ❤️ You changed my life ❤️
I love this way of folding! I'm doing a reset of my wardrobe, clearing out stuff for donation or tossing and keeping only what I like. The only issue I'm finding with this is I have to go slightly off-script because I'm a bigger woman so my clothing isn't slim like all the ones she shows. Pants and shorts have excess crotch material. But, I'm finding my own way of getting it done. Now I have the satisfaction of looking into my drawers and seeing nice, neat packages that I can pluck out.
Thank you for this folding Method, Marie! With this, I was able to gain a lot of space in my luggage for my first trip to Dublin (and last before the lockdown) back in October 2019. It also helped me to create some supplementary space in my closets.
ありがとうございました Kondo san. You and this method are changing my life for the better. I started the process a year ago and due to 50+ years of stuff collected and inherited I was drowning in stuff!. I’m ADD and very creative but clutter kills my creativity. Thanks to your method I have a better focus on simple, beautiful, peaceful, organized living so that my natural creativity can flourish and thrive! I already had the character trait that I didn’t want things in my life or my garden that didn’t have multiple purposes or uses. I don’t want lots of beautiful things just to look at them on a shelf. You just have more work to keep them dusted. I just needed a way to organize my thinking about my belongings and what is important to me! Again, ありがとうございました Arigatou gozaimashita for your wonderful lessons.
Thank you for sharing the tidy method, I'm in the process of tiding and feels so relaxing decluterring so many things and keeping what brings joy! God bless you! :)
I finished reading your book and I didn’t believe the testimony that said folding clothes is now fun.... honestly it is fun now 😂 and sooo satisfying to have neat little rectangles
wow, i've been folding my clothes like this my whole life but i never knew it was called the "konmari fold"! this is incredibly eye opening! thank you for showing me something so useful and enlightening!
At first I was like, I can't believe I'm watching a folding tutorial but, then when she started folding I was like "ok hold on, I have to try it now" 20 min later I folded all my clothes like this....Thank you so much
Bless you Marie 😊 I’m working on a video of decluttering my drawers using this method. There is something so aesthetically pleasing about opening a drawer and not seeing a jumbled mess! I think her voice is so calming too!
I actually fold, then roll my clothes if I am packing a suitcase. Amazing how much less room it takes up. I also discovered packing cubes which are the best invention ever
This is my first time hearing about her or her method of folding. Im so excited to have more space in my drawer because my clothes are folded properly. Thank you very much!
It looks simple, but when I try this to my clothes, WOW! The wardrobe even has more free space! Also, you have inspired my lazy-ass soul to be neater in cleaning up the house, although it seems very time-consuming at first. Thank you!
Thank you very much, Marie. I've just watched your NetFlix TidyingUp series. They're mind-blowing. You're an amazing genius, bringing lights to millions of household for decluttering their house for a happier home.
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! My clothes are so neat now! And thank you for showing how to fold different pieces of clothes instead of just one T-shirt!
I've been folding similiar too this ever since I figured out too my own laundry around 8 ( my family is super messy and no one taught me) my mindset was why wouldn't I make my clothes as tiny as possible for more room in my dresser for toys 😂😅
I was looking for an effective way to fold my clothes and discovered this video. I just love it! Straight to the point. I can watch a hundred times. Now my drawers have gone through a transformation! Thanks a bunch for this video!
I have folded a lot of uniforms in my life so far.....once you have folded the sides, roll the garment....that way it takes lest room and never wrinkles.
I am following Marie's methodology in feeling spark joy while deciding my stuff stay or leave. However, I have a concern on this folding method that creates press lines. I am afraid I need to ironing my outfits again before dress.
It won't create press lines since the folding method and storage allows breathing room. However, some material will inevitably crease. These clothes are best hung up! Marie Kondo explains this in her book :)
Folding properly holds the cloth taut and erases wrinkles, making the material stronger and more vibrant! You don’t need to make a sharp crease by running your fingernail along the edge as you would in origami. If you apply a firm pressure, the garment will keep its shape long term.
Have you ever tried searching at amazon? I found a measuring tool that saved my life, just type "measuring tape" at the search bar and order whatever you desire.
🥰 Would love one one folding towels of different sizes so they end up being a similar size in width and height, I understand the depth/thickness will vary.
Omg, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Just wish I could clone myself so each one would have a task & it would get done much quicker! Thank you so much! I would think it'll help w/the wrinkle factor too!
As crazy as this sounds - this way of folding really works! I have plenty of room in my drawers and shelves, I can see what I have, and I save time with getting dressed.
I followed how you fold pants and tops.exactly. love my little packages.everything fit in my 21" intl size luggage.8 short sleeved tops ,5 pants, 3 wool blazers.cruise 10 days,10 days hotel.Az to Spain. Leave in 5 days. Retired airline,fly 8x year,intl travel. Love it.
Someone may already have mentioned this... I don't like the fold marks on a turtle neck or t-shirt, after they've been packed in a drawer for a while. So -- when I take a shirt out of the drawer -- I grab the spray bottle that I use for hair, iron, etc., and spritz the fold marks lightly, front and back. And voilà! By the time I'm ready to put on the shirt, it's dry and the fold marks are gone.
I can’t tell you how much these methods are a livesaver :) I just did 3 tshirts and it fees like the best day ever, I can’t wait to live an organized life!
As kids we did our own laundrey..nothing got folded or made it into the drawers. If you needed anything, it was in the hamper. By contrast, my wife turns domestic chores into an artform, because she cares! 😁
Thank you so much! This video was so helpful, I've been reorganizing lately. Thank you for making these videos instead of just selling your books! Only objection I have is that some of the folding methods shown don't work with thicker clothes, but otherwise, great!
Thank you Marie! I've finally started to organize my closet (again) and my OCD was triggered. It's so overwhelming to fold clothes again and again to correct them. I think I can now accomplish this task a little better than before 🌸🌿
I don’t fold this way as it takes more time and I still have space left in my wardrobe, but I watch her folding videos all the time becuz it’s so satisfying and calm. Definitely my Asrm.
Marie! I could fit all your clothes in my lunchbox and still have room for chips because you are so tiny. You really did help me get rid of all the clothes I fooled myself into thinking would come back into style someday.
My prized t-shirts stand up straight on the shelf like books. I can now retrieve them without doing battle with a leaning tower of messy shirts. Thank you Senpai!
One point to note….Clothes do have wrinkles in some spots when you are ready to wear them…Some more than others, and for leggins and such it doesn’t much matter, but tops/pants sometimes it does. If you have the space to hang clothes, why not, they’ll have less wrinkles and material gets to breath. I’ve been rectangular folding my clothes for years and when traveling folded and rolled, so all clothes fit in carry-on luggage, but I never thought to store clothes the same way in a drawer at home, because, I did have to iron some things once I got to my travel destination. Love her idea to be thankful for clothes/linens as you fold…I always grumble through this task…But wouldn’t hurt me to be mindful of the blessing …Like…Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
Genuine qs - if you fold everything like that how would you know what's what? i have about 10 black tops. if i folded them all like that, i'd have to basically pull everything out to find one black top and it's all messy again.
I actually don't have a problem with this. I use only solid color shirts and more 70% are black. I just place the shirts in roughly the same place every time and I just remember that specific black shirt is towards the front and so on.

When I first started folding her way I felt satisfaction at making "packages" out of each piece of clothing. They look neat and pretty.
Samee! I even organized my brothers wardrobe coz i wanted to see them all color coordinated and just piled in a very satisfying way
This is amazing!! My daughter made a tool to do this but now she doesnt even need it!
I started folding my clothes this way about 3 weeks ago and i have the same feeling of satisfaction at all the neat little packages in my drawer.
Anonymous Medusa i send pictures of my drawers to people, if only the rest of my life and flat were so organised!

When it said firm loving pressure to thank your clothes for supporting you I shook my head and subscribed
Chelsea Cco lol me toooo haha
You are so hilarious! Great analogy 🤣
th-cam.com/video/ut7dOLBJMHU/w-d-xo.html
She explains it in her book which is awesome. I can’t stop reading it
It’s « Shinto», she worked at one time in a shinto temple. Thanking the « spirit» that lives in the cloths
This is a game changer. I have so much space in my closet now, and I don't have to use an ugly rack I was using to fit all my clothes. And its even good for packaging clothes for when you travel.
Mad respect to this woman.
the travel idea is so good! thank you so much, this saves soo much space
O😂II popooooo
My shirt with prints:
I fold it with the design facing outwards (I call it a reverse Konmari)
I do this so I know which shirt has prints/logo/picture (they are all lined up vertically in the drawer by colour)
The plain ones:
I follow the original KonMari
Been doing this for 2 years (combined with minimalism) and loving this!!!!
I keep what I'm happy with and what I use!!!!!
I do this too my husband has 8 black tops, some with print some without and if I don't do it with the print on show he has no idea which one is which.
Me too. Because i have some shirts with same color and they have the logos in front so i have to fold it outward. But Marie also said in one of her talkshow when an audience asks if she can fold it like that, she said of course
I was wondering if it would still work if I did that - thanks for sharing!
Did this too
😊👍same here!
I actually really like to hear marie's voice speaks japanese, it is very calming. Please more video with her voice.
Me too. Glad someone agrees with me. Happy decluttering
I want to see more her videos ~ 😍
I finally figured it out. I save things out of guilt, my Mom made this for me or it used to be hers; my sister-in-law brought this to me from wherever, ect. I keep more things out of guilt than joy. Hardly anything gives me joy...it's just stuff.

You know you have a lot of jeans & Ts when you're looking up how to maximize drawer space... On YT... At 2am...as you're putting the laundry away! Why now? I forgot all about them after I plopped them on my bed at 6pm... Ughh, haha!
Me too. Especially with relatives that are no longer alive - my grandma bought me these dolls, she had not a lot of money but saved and picked them out just for me. Or my uncle’s stamp collection that meant the world to him. I feel awful to get rid of something like that. But I just don’t have the space and don’t really want the items anyway, I just don’t want to feel like a bad or ungrateful person. It’s so hard! But also - they gave me these things to enjoy, not to burden me with them. So idk why I feel so bad about it.

@@jilliebeen1 yes, take pictures of it and place them in like a fancy frame or something.
Aah, me too!
I use to hate folding clothes. Now because of Mari I like it, and her decluttering program has changed every aspect of my life!
I wonder how many people are finally getting around to decluttering now that everyone’s forced to stay home 🤔

I am, and I've been documenting it on my channel. It's crazy how many stuff one accumulates over the years and never use💛
I fold like this, but I roll my tops because there are less fold lines, everything else is folded.
The Stitchess I decluttered and had 17 boxes for donations and no where to bring them because donation centres are closed
same I fold my shirts in forth then 3rds not 3rds then held then 3rds
The little gap, that’s where I have been going wrong! This video uploaded just when I needed to see it, thank you!
@@ShadowSailor The gap is there to make people ask questions!
I’m only here because of the Allyson Roman drama. Lol. But what is the gap for?
@@ShadowSailor It keeps the bulk of the neckline, shoulder, and sleeve seams from making the folded garment 'fat" at one end of the fold, so they go in the drawer more evenly.

I was looking for an effective way to fold my clothes and discovered this video. I just love it! Straight to the point. I can watch a hundred times. Now my drawers have gone through a transformation! Thanks a bunch for this video!
I have folded a lot of uniforms in my life so far.....once you have folded the sides, roll the garment....that way it takes lest room and never wrinkles.
Thank you , Marie Condo . I watched your vlog without skipping . Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
I am following Marie's methodology in feeling spark joy while deciding my stuff stay or leave. However, I have a concern on this folding method that creates press lines. I am afraid I need to ironing my outfits again before dress.
It won't create press lines since the folding method and storage allows breathing room. However, some material will inevitably crease. These clothes are best hung up! Marie Kondo explains this in her book :)
Angelica Thanks! 😁
Folding properly holds the cloth taut and erases wrinkles, making the material stronger and more vibrant! You don’t need to make a sharp crease by running your fingernail along the edge as you would in origami. If you apply a firm pressure, the garment will keep its shape long term.

why do i feel like crying
it’s so satisfying and calming
i already enjoyed folding my clothes and now i’m going to enjoy it even more
Pretty sure more regular forms of folding clothing are faster/more practical/less crumpled up.
been folding my clothes like this for awhile, leaves so much space for my small cabinet🥹
this is the oragami for clothes
Frank Wang no
Origami?
its oregano
@@rockangelie5 you mean the herb?
It means paper craft like cranes,frogs,flowers etc
I started watching you Marie on Netflix and your ideas of decluttering & organizing make me happy each time I apply it to our humble home.
Can someone leave a link where I can buy a little gap for the end?
😂 ... best comment
Have you ever tried searching at amazon? I found a measuring tool that saved my life, just type "measuring tape" at the search bar and order whatever you desire.
🥰 Would love one one folding towels of different sizes so they end up being a similar size in width and height, I understand the depth/thickness will vary.
sometimes with thick sweaters, the last step is better folding it in half rather than in thirds! got it! thanks!
Omg, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Just wish I could clone myself so each one would have a task & it would get done much quicker! Thank you so much! I would think it'll help w/the wrinkle factor too!
As crazy as this sounds - this way of folding really works! I have plenty of room in my drawers and shelves, I can see what I have, and I save time with getting dressed.

I followed how you fold pants and tops.exactly. love my little packages.everything fit in my 21" intl size luggage.8 short sleeved tops ,5 pants, 3 wool blazers.cruise 10 days,10 days hotel.Az to Spain. Leave in 5 days. Retired airline,fly 8x year,intl travel. Love it.
Someone may already have mentioned this... I don't like the fold marks on a turtle neck or t-shirt, after they've been packed in a drawer for a while. So -- when I take a shirt out of the drawer -- I grab the spray bottle that I use for hair, iron, etc., and spritz the fold marks lightly, front and back. And voilà! By the time I'm ready to put on the shirt, it's dry and the fold marks are gone.
Thanks Ellen…This method, while it maybe a space saver, isn’t a wrinkle saver…Good tip.
I can’t tell you how much these methods are a livesaver :) I just did 3 tshirts and it fees like the best day ever, I can’t wait to live an organized life!
As kids we did our own laundrey..nothing got folded or made it into the drawers. If you needed anything, it was in the hamper. By contrast, my wife turns domestic chores into an artform, because she cares! 😁
This is exactly why I love clothes hangers 👍💪
LLLLOOOOLLLL!
Thank you so much! This video was so helpful, I've been reorganizing lately. Thank you for making these videos instead of just selling your books! Only objection I have is that some of the folding methods shown don't work with thicker clothes, but otherwise, great!
Thank you Marie! I've finally started to organize my closet (again) and my OCD was triggered. It's so overwhelming to fold clothes again and again to correct them. I think I can now accomplish this task a little better than before 🌸🌿
Just tried this on my first T-shirt! Still a little overwhelming, but at least I'm no longer alone while fighting my anxious mind 🐣🌱
The long sleeved shirt was more overwhelming because my shirt wasn't the same measurements as yours 😓 I feel guilty. I want to redo it..
watching this video sparked joy for me! :)
I was struggling, when I was packing my suitcase, then I found this video and it really helped me, appreciate you very much! :)
I don’t fold this way as it takes more time and I still have space left in my wardrobe, but I watch her folding videos all the time becuz it’s so satisfying and calm. Definitely my Asrm.

I always heard the named MARIE KONDO to a minimalist channels so I searched it and this is it. Love this
I'm going to try playing this music the next time I fold laundry... might make one of my least favourite tasks more tolerable. Thanks for uploading.
I'm done reading your book now, thank you.
I love your approaches with the spirit of things and Home, thank you.
If Marie edits all her videos, she must have another talent: video editing!
this was so aesthetically pleasing
Me folding mt leggings: kalm
Me folding my sweatpants: panik
Sweetest human on this planet so sweet that she even made me fold all my clothes an I don't think I have ever done it before in three decades
thanks! cant wait to elaborately fold my clothes;)
I'm planning to spend the rest of my day refolding my clothes. It's so satisfying!
Marie! I could fit all your clothes in my lunchbox and still have room for chips because you are so tiny. You really did help me get rid of all the clothes I fooled myself into thinking would come back into style someday.
My prized t-shirts stand up straight on the shelf like books. I can now retrieve them without doing battle with a leaning tower of messy shirts. Thank you Senpai!
She’s backkkjj

One point to note….Clothes do have wrinkles in some spots when you are ready to wear them…Some more than others, and for leggins and such it doesn’t much matter, but tops/pants sometimes it does.
If you have the space to hang clothes, why not, they’ll have less wrinkles and material gets to breath.
I’ve been rectangular folding my clothes for years and when traveling folded and rolled, so all clothes fit in carry-on luggage, but I never thought to store clothes the same way in a drawer at home, because, I did have to iron some things once I got to my travel destination.
Love her idea to be thankful for clothes/linens as you fold…I always grumble through this task…But wouldn’t hurt me to be mindful of the blessing …Like…Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
I managed to fit about maybe 20 jeans in a small drawer. (UPDATE: I bought more jeans :) and Now I need a bigger dresser. 😬)
ahahahah YES!
I thought folding my clothes like this would'nt spark joy but I folded a t shirt and know I'm up and ready for perfect teenager room 💞✨
gonna rearrange my closet tmr~~~
I almost fell asleep... wow Marie you are a gift to us all. Thank you
Genuine qs - if you fold everything like that how would you know what's what? i have about 10 black tops. if i folded them all like that, i'd have to basically pull everything out to find one black top and it's all messy again.
I usually fold them so you can see some of the design like flip them over so the back is up then fold, might not work for you but it works for me
I actually don't have a problem with this. I use only solid color shirts and more 70% are black. I just place the shirts in roughly the same place every time and I just remember that specific black shirt is towards the front and so on.
if i have more than one shirt in the same colour i usually just store them "upside down" street folding so you can see their label in the neck hole
If you guys could see the heap of clothes in a room I have to fold, your heads would explode.
@@karikl438 Ahhh, do a video! That would be such a satisfying thing to watch. I am in the same boat, but man does this help.
I have just found this thanks to an ADHD friendly tips video and it is going to CHANGE MY LIFE! Thanks!
I started trying to pack like this, then 10 mins later began crying and jammed that shit in there.
