Fold both flat sheets down together about 6 inches (blank should not be included in this fold). Then fold the 2 flat sheets and the blanket down another 6 inches.

Tuck in both flat sheets with the blanket beneath the foot of the mattress. The hanging fabric at the sides of the foot will have made a U-Shape.
