Folding the Flag


To properly fold the U.S. Flag, follow these steps:

  1. Two people face each other, each holding one end of the flag. Stretch it horizontally at waist height and fold in half lengthwise.

  2. Fold the flag in half lengthwise again, the union (stars) should be on the top.

  3. One person holds the flag by the union while the other starts at the opposite end by making a triangular fold.

  4. Continue to fold in the flag in triangles from the stripes end until only the blue field with stars is showing.
