Take each piece and place over the towel, then cut out. You can stitch along the edges,
or just pin the two "hands" together.

Cut out a 5 inch wide piece of fabric for the border where the hand goes into the mitt.
The width will vary depending on the size of your mitt. Press the edges under, then
pin in place.

Measure the mitt from the top corner of the mitt around the hand portion, the thumb portion,
then all the way to the other top corner. Cut out a strip of fabric that is 2 1/2 inches wide
by whatever length you get. Press the edges in 1/4 inch, and then press the piece in half down
the length so the it looks like a ribbon.Pin in place, with the pressed edges folded under.
Eyeball the trim, so that half the trim makes a finished "ribbon" around the edge of the mitt.
You can either stitch it on the machine, or hand sew into place.
You're done!
