When taping the garbage bags, make sure that the sealing edge of the bags is nearly dust and dirt free. This is because when you put the tape on, you need an air-tight seal. To start off, put tape on one side of the garbage bags, only going about 3"-4" underneath. After you do that to all the seams in the first section, flip the bags over and do it again. [See pictures 1-3]

Now onto the second section- Layout your final three garbage bags in the same fashion as the first, only take into consideration the overlapping of the seams, so the air will flow through properly when you inflate everything. Now, tape the three bags, flip them over, and repeat. Remember to go 3"-4" on the other side of the bags, otherwise they will fall apart when you try to flip them over.

Finally, it's time to tape all the bags together! Place the bag sections together, making sure they overlap. Next, tape everything together in the same fashion as the last sections.
