Step 1
Step One: Thread a needle using the dominant color of the button. Use number 8 thread as this thread is thicker and more durable than the thread used on sewing machine. With the threaded needle in your hand, place the button on the place for it to be sewn back on. Remove any threads that may have been left on from the button becoming dislodged. You may use your fingers to gently pull the threads from the garment that was left in place when the button become unsecured.

Step 2
Step Two: As you have placed the button on the place to be sewn back on, begin the needle underneath the fabric under one of the holes that is made a part of the buttons. Most buttons have two, four or six holes in which to sew the button on to the garment. Bring the needle up through the fabric and then locate another hole in the button in a criss cross fashion and enter the needle into the hole and down through the fabric. Locate a hole that has not been sewn and take the needle from underneath the garment again and into the buttonhole. Criss cross the needle and thread carrying the needle through the top of the button hole. Repeat the process until the button hole is securely sewn onto the garment.

Step 3
Step Three: Use a pair of scissors and cut the thread from the needle once you have completely sewn the button back onto the garment. The button should be sewn tightly into the garment so as not to be able to pull the button from the garment. If the button fits loosely, start step two again and make sure that the button is sewn into the garment as tightly as possible. Again, make a button check to make sure that the button is sewn as instructed in step two for a secure fit back onto the garment.
