How to fold a traditional French crepe:
Watch this video.
How to fold blintzes:
Spoon 1/4 cup of the ingredients along the lower third of the crepe. Fold the bottom edge away from you to just cover the filling; then fold the 2 sides in to the center. Roll the blintz away from you a couple of times to make a package, ending with the seam side down. Saute in oil over medium heat or place in an ovenproof pan in oven at 350° until brown.
