The velcro measures 6-8 inches across the center of the top and bottom part of the Handy Handle cart cover and run parallel from each other. (See FIGS,  1  and  1 A and  FIGS. 3 and 3 A)    
   
   
       5 .) Handy Handle cart cover when laid flat and opened has attached to one side of the top horizontal portion of the cover, a piece of elastic that measures 7 inches long and is tucked, looped and sewn within the fabric to provide a closure when folding it together and placing it in your purse or pocket. (See  FIGS. 2 and 2 A and  4  and  4 A)  
   
   
       6 .) Handy Handle cart cover when not in use: Simply remove from the shopping cart, airport luggage cart or rented stroller handle bar by grabbing an edge of the Handy Handle cart cover and pull in an upward motion with one quick arm movement up and off. 
 Second, lay the Handy Handle cart cover flat and open. Third, fold it over top to bottom horizontally so that the two velcro pieces attach to one another.    Fourth, fold over the left side to the middle and then fold over the right side to lay flat on top. Finally, pull the material through the elastic loop to attach the Handy Handle together.
