Lay the American flag flat. Smooth it out to remove wrinkles or creases.
Stick pieces of clear masking tape on the top of the flag. Open the front door.
Hold the corner of the flag with the white stars and blue background, also called the Union, in your left hand. Hold the other corner in your right hand.
Stand on a chair while you hold the flag. Drape 1 or 2 inches of the flag over the top of the door. Do not let the bottom of the flag touch the floor as it hangs. Press on the tape to secure the flag.
