How to turn your pants into maternity clothes and save money!

Here's a simple trick for turning your regular pants into maternity clothing.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• rubber band
• pants with a button hole

1. 

   Put on your pants.

2. 

   Take the rubber band and hook one end over the button or rivet (on jeans)

3. Thread the rubber band through the button hole and hook the other end over the button or rivet.

on 1/25/2009 Wow I thought I was the only person to ever do this. My friends used to laugh but I didn't see any reason to wear things I didn't like just because I was pregnant. I will be using this method this time also. +5
