==== Folding history ==== The flag of Minnesota did not have an official folding technique until 2010, when instructions for folding the 1983 State Flag for storage and display were codified in law.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chapter 333 - MN Laws |url=https://www.revisor.mn.gov/laws/2010/0/333/#laws.2.1.0 |access-date=2025-02-24 |website=www.revisor.mn.gov}}</ref> The folding for storage technique was done in the same manner as the U.S. flag, but the display technique was developed by members of the [[Minnesota National Guard]], and was so detailed that it was confusing to some.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Brunswick |first=Mark |date=May 4, 2010 |title=Let 'L'Etoile' shine when folding the flag |url=http://www.startribune.com/let-l-etoile-shine-when-folding-the-flag/92730624/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811223049/https://www.startribune.com/let-l-etoile-shine-when-folding-the-flag/92730624/ |archive-date=August 11, 2017 |access-date=August 11, 2017 |work=Star Tribune}}</ref> The original code (which was repealed in 2024 with the adoption of the new state flag) read: {{Blockquote|text=Fold the flag four times lengthwise so that one section displays the three stars of the state crest and the text "L'Etoile du Nord." Fold each side behind the displayed section at a 90-degree angle so that the display section forms a triangle. Take the section ending with the hoist and fold it at a 90-degree angle across the bottom of the display section and then fold the hoist back over so it is aligned with the middle of the display section. Fold the other protruding section directly upwards so that its edge is flush with the display section and then fold it upwards along a 45-degree angle so that a mirror of the display section triangle is formed. Fold the mirror section in half from the point upwards, then fold the remaining portion upwards, tucking it between the display section and the remainder of the flag.}}
