   Step 2: Begin folding.

   Fold the cuff up so that the fold lies where the seam of the cuff meets the sleeve.
   
   If the shirt has no separate cuff, fold the end of the sleeve up two or three inches, evenly all the way around. , Fold the sleeve again, using width of the first fold as a guide.
   
   Repeat as many times as necessary or desired.
   
   Rolling a sleeve up with multiple folds or past the elbow can help keep it from slipping down as quickly. , Most shirts are made with fabric that will stay in place on its own, but if you're wearing a shirt made of silk or another slippery fabric, hold it in place with a safety pin.
   
   Make sure you pin it from the inside to hide it. ,
