Then I add a snap in the side seams so the sides also will come together....that's what gives the bag the pyramid shape. Hopefully you can see from this picture however the snap on the side is hidden but it's attached in the side seams.

What's nice about this is that when you don't have a lot of stuff to carry, you snap both snaps up and your bag is not one giant floppy tote. You are carrying something that's slimmer and shaped like a pyramid. When you have a ton of stuff to carry, you only snap the one snap in the front and the bag looks like a regular tote.

I'm sorry, this is not easy to describe. I hope it makes sense.
