1. To begin folding the flag, have two people hold it between them - one on either end - at waist height.
2. The first fold should bring the bottom striped edge up to meet the top edge (which features the blue field of the canton). #The next fold should bring the folded edge to meet the open edge, leaving the blue field on the outside.
3. Once that is completed, the person on the fly end (with the stripes) should begin folding the striped edge of the flag up to meet the open edge. The stripes on the folded portion wil now be perpendicular (At a right-angle) to the rest of the stripes.
4. Make another triangular fold, bringing the edge of the triangle up to meet the flag's open edge (the stripes will now be parallel)
5. Continue folding in this manner, keeping the folds even and tight. If done correctly, the point of the fold just before the blue field should just touch the edge of the blue.
6. Fold again, until there is a small area of the blue field left - about the amount needed to make one more fold. Fold the corner of the hoist end so that the fold goes the opposite direction of the folded fly end. tuck the folded hoist end into the flag, inserting it into the open part of the folded flag. Ensure it is well tucked in, and the folds are tight and neat. Inspect the folded flag, ensuring that no red is showing, only the blue field with stars. (See also U.S. Flag.org for a good explanation of proper folding).
