"Hi, I'm Candi Cane Canncel with Expert Village. In this clip we're going to take our exposed zipper and we're going to go ahead and trim away the extra fabric on the back. So you just want to take a small pointed scissor and just make a little opening in the back. You are actually just going to trim all the way around exposing the zipper teeth in the back. You also want to trim off any of these little stray pieces of thread. You can come around to the front actually open up your bag so after you cut away your fabric and making sure that your zipper works, open up the zipper and then the next step is going to be attaching the other side of the bag so you have a fun little exposed zipper bag."
