Prep Doors

Add Batting
Lay bi-fold doors out on a long, flat work surface. Use a tape measure to determine the width and height of doors. Mark dimensions down in notepad with pencil. Use fabric scissors to cut batting 1/4-inch shorter than door on all sides. Attach batting to front and back of each door with staple gun.

Finish Edges With Ribbon
Cut strips of ribbon long enough to cover edges of fabric and batting. Place iron-on adhesive tape over staples. Cover adhesive tape with ribbon, lining up the ribbon's edges with outside edges of door. Miter ribbon at corners by cutting with scissors at a 45-degree angle then use iron to bond both ribbon and adhesive tape to fabric.
