Measure the width of your tote bag and cut three piece of the tape to fit across. We chose to make our design go horizontally across the bag, but you can position and place the tape wherever you want.

Remove the backing to the tape. The adhesive is super sticky and now ready for the trim!

Cut the trim also the width of the bag and place on top of the tape. Firmly press down on the trim to create a solid hold with the tape! Wasn't that easy!?!
