We're almost done.

Essentially at this point the case is ready, padded and lined.
We decided for extra safety and protection (not to mention style) to create a front flap that Anh would close with velcro later.

To do this we folded the laptop inside the case and brought the front flap over the case.
Then we lined up another peice of cardboard with the same width as the front flap.
Using a pen we marked holes for where we would be attaching the two panels.

Next, make sure you remove your laptop before poking the holes with the nails.
Secure the two panels together with wire until snug, doing so to join all of the pairs.

We had some fun with the wire. We decided to make a braided design by connecting the wires together.
