Flip the sheet music over with the folded side down but to the top. Fold your paper into thirds and crease, then unfold. Refold the left third inward and then fold about 1/2 to 1 inch of the bottom up making the bottom of your pouch. Use the clear tape and tape the bottom fold up leaving the third side on your right still flat or open for now.
