How do you fold the Canadian flag?

Answer 1

• 1

Hold the flag at each of its four corners and pull it taut. The folder holds the corners at the end with the blue and red fields.

• 2

Fold the flag in half, lengthwise, with the red field covering the blue field. Pull it taut again making sure the open side's edges are flush with one another.

• 3

Fold it in half again, the closed side over the open side, again maintaining the flattening tension and parallel, flush edges on the open side. The blue field should now be displayed face up.

• 4

Take the closed side's blue field corner and fold it over the open side such that what was the bottom edge is now parallel and flush with the open side forming a right triangle (a triangle with a ninety-degree angle).

• 5

At the right angle, fold the flag again such that a new right triangle is formed, still keeping the open edges parallel.

• 6

Fold the right-angled corner of the new triangle over such that it forms a new right triangle with what had been the bottom edge now flush with the side of the flag below it.

• 7

Continue this sequence of folds creating right triangles until the flag is completely folded into a right triangular bundle. The white field and yellow sun should now predominate in the visible areas of the flag.

Answer 2

1. To properly fold the flag, begin by holding it waist-high with another person so that its surface is parallel to the ground.
2. Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the field of stars, holding the bottom and top edges securely.
3. Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside.
4. Make a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meet the open top edge of the flag.
5. Turn the outer end point inward, parallel to the open edge, to form a second triangle.
6. The triangular folding is continued until the entire length of the flag is folded in this manner.
7. When the flag is completely folded, only a triangular blue field of stars should be visible.
