I would like to know the proper way to fold an Irish flag?

1. I know certain countries have their own ways of folding the national flag, but I could not find any details online of an Irish method.  \n\n2. Here are the methods that I did manage to find\n(a) USA - this is quite an intricate method, and there are many webpages devoted to it (the third and fourth webpages listed here include the symbolism of each fold).\nhttp://www.legion.org/?section=our_flag&subsection=flag_folding&content=flag_procedures\nhttp://www.usa-patriotism.com/reference/flag_folding.htm\nhttp://www.flagandbanner.com/fab/flag.asp?cpage=folding1&source=overture\nhttp://www.usflag.org/foldflag.html\n\n(b) UK - the British tradition is to have the flag rolled up and then tied with a thin piece of cotton or a slip not. When the rolled flag is raised to the top of the mast, a sharp tug of the halyard releases the flag to fly freely.\nhttp://www.leicester.gov.uk/naco/Home%20Page%20Pics/NACO%20Flag%20Protocol.pdf\nhttp://www.scoutbase.org.uk/library/hqdocs/facts/pdfs/fs315073.pdf\n\n3. You may wish to browse around these websites, for some further leads.\n(a) Flags of the World - it has a Republic of Ireland webpage\nhttp://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ie.html#his\n(b) Vexillological Society of Ireland - now defunct, apparently\nhttp://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/vex-cve.html\nhttp://www.fotw.net/flags/vex_reg.html\n(c) The Flag Institute (UK)\nhttp://www.flaginstitute.org/index.php?location=0\n(d) International Federation of Vexillological Associations\nhttp://www.fotw.net/flags/vex-fiav.html#officers

Have fun with a scavenger hunt on St. Patrick’s Day! Leave a trail of clues that leads to a pot of treasures. See who has the luck of the Irish and will discover it first!\n\nYou'll need: Green construction paper, scissors, tape, Irish music\n\nBefore your party, pre-cut shamrocks from the construction paper, or for an adult party, you can have people do it themselves as they arrive. Tape large green shamrocks to the floor, one for each person. Every person starts the game standing on a shamrock. Start the music and have the people walk around the room. When the music stops, they need to stand on a shamrock or they are out. Remove one shamrock after each musical segment.

If I remember correctly the American Flag goes on the observers left of stage and the state flag is on the right.\n\nQ:What should be the position of the flag when displayed from a staff in a church, public auditorium or other public meeting place, whether indoors or outdoors, on platform, or on the floor at ground level?\n\nA: When used on a speaker's platform, the flag, if displayed flat, should be displayed above and behind the speaker. When displayed from a staff in a church, public auditorium or meeting place, the flag should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Prior to the Flag Code changes in 1976, the display procedure was somewhat different. Now the staffed flag should always be placed to the right of the speaker (observer's left) without regard to a platform or floor level.

Assuming you are using helium balloons - Staggering the balloons is the best way, pulling and lengthening balloon strings as you have them in a bunch once you have it how you like it tie a knot near the bottom and have some sort of weight to tie the rest of the string too.  Keep in mind the ribbon length  ie if you them on the floor or table. Dollar stores have lots of neat ideas for weights and if you're creative you can find picture holders or mugs that are heavy enough and can be used again afterwards. Bunches of 7-8 balloons look nice, but it is easier to do groups of 5. Depending on how many colours you are using or have in your wedding theme. Also it is best to bunch the balloons at the site - travelling with them prebunched in a vehicle makes for a big tangled mess!

This one actually works. I looked mine up.\n\nhttp://allfamilycrests.com/\n\nAnd here is a link that explains all the animals and objects that are on a coat of arms.\n\nhttp://www.irishsurnames.com/heraldiccharges.htm

Wow, thats a tuff one. Have you considered cardboard or wire and fabric? How much time do you have because this seems like a time consuming task. You could look on the internet fo ideas that might help you out. It depends on what you want it to look like.

My guess would be to take a piece of paper and fringe the bottom. Like, cut it into little sections but don't cut them completely off. That's the only way I know to do it.

I mail quarters to Canada and to Australia. I tape the quarter to the letter, then fold the letter like 4 times, so the quarter really isn't noticed. The only thing is, it does make the letter a little heavier, and cost a little more for postage.\nBut, it works that way.

I would mark 3 lines running the long way (11 inches) across the cardboard, dividing the cardboard into 4 sections each 2 inches by 11 inches.\n\nThen, I would fold the carboard along those lines as follows: folded in half along the center line, then each outer joint is folded the opposite way.  This leaves you wth a long piece having a cross-section that looks like an extruded letter "W."  I am going to call these folds the "hinges" in order to keep them from being confused witht he next folds.\n\nNext, I would mark three lines the other way, so that they divide the extruded "W" into four sections of equal length.  Now fold in the same direction along all three of these lines -- this gives you something that looks like a square when viewed from above.  I am going to call these new folds the "corners."\n\nFinally, the tricky bit:  the opposite ends of the now-bent-up "W" shape will have an inner hinge, a middle hinge, and an outer hinge.  By this I mean that if you look at the "W" shaped cross section, there is a "hinge" where the leftmost side of the W stops going down and bends to come back up -- this is the the inner hinge if the corners are bent so that the box shape is to the left of the "W" as you are looking at it, or the outer hinge if the corners are bent so that the boxt shape is to the right of the "W."\n\nAnyway, what you want to do is cut a slit along the fold of the inner hinge, from the edge of the cardboard HALF WAY to the first corner.  Then at the opposite end of the carboard piece (the other spot where you can see a "W"), cut another slit along the fold of the OUTER hinge again half way to the corner.\n\nThese two slits will allow you to slide the two "W"-shaped ends over one another so that they will lock together.  Now instead of looking like a square from above, this folded bit of cardboard looks like a triangel from above and has one sidewall that is twice as thick as the other two.\n\nA tennis ball should sit nicely in that triangle but be too big to fall through if you pick the carboard piece up.\n\nYou should easily be able to support 50 pounds on this triangle if the triangle is lying such that the three sides are all touching the table along one edge and the 50 pound weight is sitting on top of the triangle touching all 3 sides along their opposite edges (just the same orientation as it would have been holding the tennis ball in).  I have no doubt it can support 10 pounds on any given side either -- cardboard is amazingly strong when it is folded up like this.

Cool.\n\nUse the FOIL method. First, outside, inside, and last.

For the United States-\n\nThe basic design of the flag is specified by sections 1 and 2 of Title 4, United States Code (4 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2 (2004)). Executive Order 10834 which may be found as a note to section 1, specifies the proportions of the flag and the arrangement of the stars in the union.

If you are using Windows, Paint is the best way AFAIK. Open Paint and then under Image select Stretch/Skew.

If the flag is an United States of America, the proper disposal is to burn the flag.  If you are an American and feel uneasy about doing that, call a local Vet's organization, they may do it for you. (I remember seeing something on the news that they do this).  If it is another nation's flag, I would would also burn it. It sounds strange, but it is the most repsectful.
