Buttons
Lay the piece flat and vertical so the shorter (7ish inches) edge is horizontal. Using the needle and threads, attach one button to the bottom right corner. Attach the second button approximately six inches up from the first button and in the middle of the shorter edge (approximately 3.5 inches in from either side). It it helpful if you fold the piece over itself like the picture below to make sure you are attaching the second button in a spot that lines up with a hole the button can go through and the piece lays flat.
