I put in a fold mark for the top fold (with raffia) on the template. I used the ZOTS (I think that's what they're called) to stick the mint bags to the matchbooks and they work great! I bought 2" x 1 1/2" recloseable bags from Michaels and they fit perfectly inside. I cut raffia (roughly 12 inches) and threaded it through to make a bow.
