Start by threading the needle onto approximately 30cm of pre-cut thread. Next, tie both ends together to create a loop of thread with the needle on it.

Add a second or third knot over the first, to make it thicker. It should be large enough to not pull through the fabric.

Push the needle through the fabric, from the backside of the fabric and pull tight. Thread the needle through one hole of the button, from the backside.

Next, thread the needle back through the other (opposite) hole in the button, and then push through the fabric in the same location as the thread coming from the backside.

Repeat the complete Step 2 again, to add extra strength.

Note: We have demonstrated on a 2-hole button. For a 4-hole button, simply repeat Step 2 for the other button holes.
