# How to Fold a King Size Pillowcase for a Twin Pillow
The ideal pillowcase hugs its pillow like a form-fitting sock. The perfect fit lends an orderly appearance to both the bed and the bedroom. The average twin-size pillow measures 26 inches long. Using a twin-size pillow with a king-size pillowcase results in an empty sleeve of fabric dangling from the end of the pillow. Hiding the excess fabric, for a clean look, requires a custom fold.

1
Stuff the twin pillow inside the king-size pillowcase. Slide the pillow all the way down until it reaches the closed end.

2
Set the pillow flat on the bed. Grab the top of the pillowcase just above the seam.
-
3
Tuck the top of the pillowcase in on itself, like folding a letter into an envelope.
-
4
Fold the bottom seam into the top seam, creating a snug fit around the end of the pillow.
-
5
Grab the tucked in edges of the pillowcase and pull them away from one another, creating a crisp seam across the top of the pillow.

6
Run both hands across the seam to smooth out any wrinkles.
