Step 5Master the Final Fold and Tuck

All you've got left is the final fold--the tricky turn that some argue is at the crux of the whole operation. Instead of you folding the thick triangle of folded flag fabric over the last remaining blue square, your partner--who has waited for you so patiently--finally gets to do some creasing. The person on the union end of the flag will take the corner on the open leg and fold it down along the edge of the other leg to form a triangle. He or she then tucks the remaining blue tab under the folds of the thick triangle until the flag is a neat triangle and can't easily unravel.

Store the flag in a safe place, and when you want to raise it or use it again, unfold it using these steps in the opposite direction. Now, sit back and enjoy the fireworks!
