How to Short Sheet the Bed. Next time you’re stuck making someone’s bed, do the short
sheet trick. It’s an oldie but a goodie. You will need and bed-making skills. Step
1. Leave the first, fitted sheet on the mattress as it would be normally. Step 2. Pull the

the bottom of the top sheet almost in half, so that the fold rests where it usually does
