Button Application

Lay three buttons on a table or mat, lining them up evenly so that they are lightly touching, making sure to line up all holes evenly.

Tear off a 6” piece of scotch tape, and place over the buttons, as pictured below.

Thread your needle and tie a large knot in your thread tail, to keep it from pulling through, and proceed to sew the buttons in place, leaving the scotch tape intact, to keep the buttons from moving. (I will take a stitch in each button at the beginning, this holds them in place better, because they can still shift and move even with the tape application) When you are finished sewing on the buttons, gently peel the scotch tape off of the buttons and shoe.
