How do you fold the sleeve of a long sleeve shirt to make it look like a short sleeve?
I don’t know how to do it, but I want my long sleeve shirt to look like this:

How can I do that? If you know of a video that shows how to do, can you give me the link. Thanks.

1. You get the cuff (the end of the shirt at your wrist) and fold it backards towards your face.
2. Keep folding backwards and make sure the cuff isn’t bent, make sure it looks clean and not sloppy.

Folding, except for display purposes, won’t yield a wearable short sleeved shirt. Rolling the sleeve up will. One way to achieve a smother look is to try what is sometimes called a ‘Police" or "Military" roll. Contrary to the way a sleeve might normally be rolled, the first two turns are done to the inside, basically to where the divide of the sleeve is. Then take the two turned parts and roll them up in the normal way. This looks better and is easier to keep rolled up.
Some shirts have a tab built in that is exposed when rolling up and may hold the sleeve up when attached to a button on the outside of the sleeve for that purpose.
As in the illustration, this would be two inside turns and one outside turn to produce a sleeve length just below the elbow. The trick to this is to keep the first two inward turns smooth and tight. Then, when rolled up, they form the basis for a trim, natural lookng sleeve. Unless, of course, you want the pushed up, bunched up sleeve which takes no work at all.
With a little practice you should have this down pat. Good Luck!
