5. Overlap the top edge of the remaining pocket square to the bottom of the connected plain square; thread a length of trim through the center buttonholes, leaving the sheer pocket free. Tie the ends into a knot and bow.

6. Insert Button-it! decorative connectors at the corners of each square by buttoning plain back button of each Button-it! through the buttonholes in both layers of the squares (figure C).

7. Thread the remaining 8 lengths of trim through the center side buttonholes of each square. Tie the ends into a knot and bow.
