    Steps:

    2. Iron the fabric strip onto the bottom edge of the towel, tucking the ends of the strip so that they touch the back side of the towel (figure B).

    3. Glue trim to cover the raw edges of the fabric strip (figure C). Tuck the edges of the trim under so that they touch the back side of the towel. Embellish the trim with beads.
