How to fold flag

  • Hold flag waist-high so that its surface is parallel to the ground.
  • Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the blue field.
  • Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside.
  • Start a triangular fold by brining the striped corner of the folded edge to the open edge.
  • Fold the outer point inward parallel with the open edge to form a second triangle
  • Continue folding until the entire length of the flag is folded into a triangle with only the blue field and margin showing.
  • Tuck the remaining margin into the pocket formed by the folds at the blue field edge of the flag. The properly folded flag should resemble a cocked hat.
