Discover the Clever Clothing Hack That Frees Up Incredible Closet Space - Say Goodbye to Bulky Hoodies!

As the cooler months roll in, we all love to snuggle up in our cozy hoodies and the increasingly popular Oodies – those delightful oversized hooded blankets that have become a winter staple in many Australian homes. But as much as we adore the warmth and comfort they provide, there's no denying that storing these bulky items can be a bit of a headache. They're often left lying around, taking up precious space on couches, beds, or crammed into cupboards where they don't quite fit.

Well, fear not, dear members of the Seniors Discount Club! We've stumbled upon a genius hack that will revolutionize the way you store your hoodies and smaller Oodies, freeing up incredible closet space and bringing order to your home.



This super simple trick was shared by a TikTok user, Nicole (@longlashqueen), who discovered a method of folding hoodies that's so effective, it's been viewed nearly three million times. Nicole, a mum-of-three, was overjoyed to find a way to make her hoodies fit neatly into drawers and shelves, and we think you'll be just as thrilled.

Here's how it works: Lay your hoodie out flat and smooth. Fold the bottom half up twice, then fold in one sleeve, smoothing it down. Repeat with the other sleeve. Now, here's the clever part – take the hood and stretch it around the folded hoodie, transforming it into a neat, compact parcel that's perfect for storing.



We put this hack to the test with our hooded blankets, and it worked like a charm for some of the smaller versions on the market, such as the children's Cotton On Snuggets. These oversized fleece jumpers folded down to a third of their original size, allowing for two Snuggets to fit neatly into one side of a drawer. It's likely that other small versions of the Oodie, like the children's style from Kmart, will also benefit from this space-saving technique.

However, it's worth noting that this hack may not work as well on the adult-sized Oodies, which are much larger and thicker. One mum-of-three, who owns four Oodies, lamented that while she loves the warmth they provide, they're always 'just floating around' the house. She tried the folding hack, but unfortunately, it didn't quite do the trick for the adult sizes.

But don't let that discourage you from trying this hack on your other hoodies and smaller hooded blankets. It's a fantastic way to keep your closet organized and make the most of your space. Plus, it's a great way to keep your living areas tidy, without resorting to a button-activated vacuum seal – although we must admit, that does sound like a nifty idea!

What's wrong with hanging it up on a hanger?

The only things I fold is bath towels and sheets/blankets. Everything is either hung or put into drawers unfolded.
I am with you I hang everything that will fit on a clothes hanger, no trying to fit jumpers and pullovers into draws I have the hanging space so I use it, easier to see eveything that way as well.
