6. Steps 4 and 5:
• Stick the other two 70-cm (27") pieces to
the top edge of the fabric, on the printed
side.
• As you form a series of "S"s with the
fabric, attach the "female" side of the
Velcro to the “male” piece that you have
already stuck to the bottom of the storage
bin. The "S" folds will make the curtains
somewhat flexible.
