- keep two flat magnets to make the closure;

- glue the front two panels along with the one magnet;
- stitch the three sides as shown;

- make a small flap to complete the case along with the other magnet;
- cut 2 pieces of the flap;
- stitch two square pieces together with the magnet then trace the flap pattern and cut it;
- now stitch along the corner of the flap;
- make sure you can place a hook at the back of the flap;
- neatly apply bond solution on the edges as shown and let it dry;
