Step 1:
Cut Out Tyvek Paper 24 cm by 25 cm
Step 2:
There are different types of Tyvek, it is produced in “hard” and “soft” structure types.
The ones used in this tutorials are the "soft” ones. These are lightly bonded products with an embossed pattern, providing a softer fabric-like flexible substrate with tear resistance.
DO TAKE NOTE that there are 2 sides to the Tyvek Paper!
- Keep the 24cm side on top 25cm on the sides
- Duct tape Horizontally on the rough side (waxed side)
- You would want to try to get rid of all "air bubbles" and get it as smooth as possible =)

Step 10:

Step 11:
- Measure and cut the tape by the length of the pouch,
- Cut across horizontally half (now you have 2 thin pieces)
Step 12:
- Press down zipper, cover up the staplers
- DO NOT tape it too close to the zipper ( you may face difficulties zipping and un-zipping it later)
Step 13:
- Measure tape with the height of the pouch, cut 2 pieces of the same length
- You do no need to half it this time, you will need the full piece of tape for both
Step 14:
- Use 1/3 of the full tape, on the front side (where you have the zipper,)
- Tape just enough to cover the staplers.
Step 15:
- Flip it over, and fold along the lines and stick it down.
- Do the same for the other side

- Edges maybe a little hard to push out, you can use a pen to assist you.
