If using loop and hook fastening follow this step, otherwise follow step 12 to add an elastic fastening.

Cut a length of the hook and loop tape approximately the width of the file. You need the stick-on type for this project.

Fold the flap down on the file and mark a position on the front that is approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) up from the edge of the flap. Stick the hook part of the tape across the width of the file at this position. See the first picture for the detail.

Take the loop part of the tape and cut it into 5 equal pieces. Stick the first one to the inside of the flap so that when closed it will lie across and be perpendicular to the hook part. It should be about 2cm (3/4 inch) in from the edge.

Stitch the second piece of loop tape in a similar place at the other side. Place the other 3 pieces so that they are evenly spaced between the end pieces of tape. See the other pictures for more detail.

Congratulations! You have finished!
