Now it's time to essentially finish your apron.

  • Start with the curved edges
  • Before taping them down, it helps to stretch them as much as you can, because you're about to make a concave curve turn into a convex one by folding it over.
  • Tape down curved edge with small pieces of tape.
  • Next tape down the long sides
  • Tape up the hem
  • Tape down the top edge
  • Voila! You have a spanking new apron!

If you want to get fussy about it, you can press the edges flatter with a hot iron. Make sure you cover the vinyl with a press cloth, because it WILL melt, don't apply heat for too long (or it will peel right off), and finish by pressing it down with something heavy (like a wooden block) to keep it flat while it cools.
