Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1
To properly fold the Flag, begin by holding it waist-high with another person so that its surface is parallel to the ground.

 

Step 2
Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the field of stars, holding the bottom and top edges securely.

Step 3
Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside.

Step 4
Make a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meet the open (top) edge of the flag.

Step 5
Turn the outer (end) point inward, parallel to the open edge, to form a second triangle.

Step 6
The triangular folding is continued until the entire length of the flag is folded in this manner.

Step 7
When the flag is completely folded, only a triangular blue field of stars should be visible.
