I have a 3x5 American flag that was flown over the capitol for a special occasion that I would like to display
I purchased a shadow box to put it in but I cant seem to fold the flag to where only the blue portion is visible and the stars line up. I have read online and watched so many youtube vidoes but still cant get it. Is there somewhere in the valley I can take it to so I can fold it properly and display it.? if people are curious about the capitol flag program, here flag program |

Quoted:
Very few American Flags are made to the official 1-to-1.9 hoist-to-fly ratio. The typical 3X5 isn't. And therein lies your problem. You may need to "shorten" the flag by making a square fold before the triangle ones. I's going to take a LOT of trial and error. Yea that's what I'm thinking I have to do . Guess I'll have to get a case of beer and enlist the girlfriend to stand there and hold it .
