Folding our Flag, Happy 4th of July card

Straighten out the flag to full length and
fold lengthwise once.Fold it lengthwise a
second time to meet the open edge,
making sure that the union of stars on
the blue field remains outward in full view.
(A large flag may have to be folded
lengthwise a third time.) A triangular
fold is then started by bringing the
striped corner of the folded
edge to the open edge. The outer point
is then turned inward, parallel with the
open edge, to form a second triangle.
The diagonal or triangular folding is
continued toward the blue,union until
the end is reached, with only the
blue showing and, the form being
that of a cocked (three corner) hat.
