How to fold the U S Flag
©2005 ushistory.org
Two people hold the flag flat, about waist-high. The field should be in the left hand of one folder.
The folders each bring their hands together, folding the flag in half lengthwise. They then hold the flag flat with the field down.
They repeat the previous step, so the flag is now folded into quarters. The folded edge should be to the right side of the folder holding the field end.
The folder opposite the field end now folds the end diagonally, forming a triangle. The fold is done from the folded edge to the open edge. The holder of the field end needs to hold tight, so the other person can make the diagonal folds tight.
This process is repeated until the flag becomes a triangle.
If the fold is done tightly, there will be a short tab remaining, which can be tucked into the end of the triangle.
