Unpop the pop-up?

[JDiva02]

Okay--I got a lot of great tips here--and one of the best was to get a pop-up hamper for dirty clothes.

So, got a one from Dollar Tree, fit nice and neat in my bag. When we left, I tried to un-pop, but could not get folded back to original shape. I was in a hurry packing up so I just left it folded down (kinda like a surfboard).


Well, now I'm home and for the life of me I can't get the darned thing folded back to anything close to original shape. It was like wrestling with a snake. Now I need another tip--how to refold the pop-up!

thanks

You have to have it flat like a surf board then grab it on eather end and twist it so that it makes circles then wrap the cover over it and it should stay together.

I looked around for a video to show you how to fold it but found none so I made one. Here you go!

Sorry it is so dark but when it uploaded it came out dark.

I don't mean to laugh but I cannot help myself... why? Because for the LONGEST time I had the same problem getting my car sun shades folded back up. They collapse the same way that the pop-up hamper does and I used to could only get them folded up every fourth or fifth try. I'd always just give up and toss them in the back seat.

ArielRae does make it look so easy!

ArielRae - you are fantastic! I totally enjoyed watching your video. My daughter is "folding a hamper" challenged. She will flip when I send this to her!

Thanks!
