Step 12Glue the bottom edge
For this step, you will need your glue stick, scrap paper, and your almost finished bag.
Set your bag upright over your scrap paper. Position the flaps so that they are splayed like wings against the surface of the table. On the right side long flap, run the glue stick over about 0.5" of the flap {Picture 1}. Then lay your bag on its long face with the unglued flap on the table. Also run the glue stick over about 0.5" of the flap {Picture 2}. Overlap the two glue sides so that you have glue meeting glue {Picture 3}. This will form a strong bond for the bottom of the bag. Apply pressure to the bottom of the bag by inserting your hand to secure the bottom flaps {Picture 4}. Your bag is now nearly complete!
In fact, you can stop here and have a perfectly serviceable bag. The next couple steps are for looks, not structure.
