Step 10Fold the Sheet Into a Bag
We've arrived at the most annoying, yet amongst the most important steps: folding the sheet into a bag.
First, trim all edges to be about 0.7in all around. That's an arbitrary number--just make sure that the outer edges are mostly consistent. Be sure to cut off any needle holes. You also need to cut a 45 degree slice where the sides fold in on the corner. The top-left one is labeled, but the other three need to be cut, as well.
After the edges are all trimmed, we can begin folding. We are going to mate sticky border to sticky border.
First, mate a side panels to the bottom. Then the front panel to the side panels.
If you mess up, that is OK. Try to limit contact of the sticky border until you are certain that is how you want it positioned. If you must retry, you can try pulling the connected pieces apart, then attempt to rejoin. If some of the sticky parts come of, that is OK too--just keep trying.
If you completely destroy the sticky part and are beginning to damage the fabric of the bag, then I suggest you trim the destroyed bit of Layer 1 and use additional tape to reinforce the seam. Any ugliness will be covered up in the next step (cleanup)
I'm beginning to think that this step is unnecessary, but I haven't had the time to test whether it is or not.
