You will need pieces of contrasting colors, an old towel, 12 cm of braid and sewing accessories.

Progress:

1. Cut out 2 items from the towel with dimensions 19x23 cm.
2. Cut out of colored fabrics 3 rectangles of different colors so that, having combined them together, we get a rectangle measuring 20x24 cm. We spend them together and smooth the allowances from the wrong side.
3. Fold the resulting blank with a rectangle of a towel, cut off the excess and spend them along the bottom part.
4. Fold the braid together twice near the upper corner.
5. We cut out a rectangle with a size of 19x23 cm from a monochrome fabric. We put all the details in this order:

The tack is ready.
