Hem the cut edge.

Sew the box pleats into place.

Sew the other side of the snap tape (or Velcro) to the back of the towel.

Using a craft knife and cutting pad, cut a slit through the buttonhole, being careful not to cut any satin stitches.

Fold the tab to the backside of the topper, and mark where the button should be placed.

Sew a button to the back of the topper. When sewing, make sure that the stitches don't go through to the front of the embroidery; try to keep them between the fabric and stabilizer.
