Introduction
This is a simple repair of adding a two-hole button onto a pair of jeans. This repair requires a needle, thread, fabric scissors, and a fabric marker. After following the steps in this guide, a two-hole button should be firmly attached to a pair of jeans. Keep in mind that the needle being used in sharp and is hard to spot if dropped.
