I picked up these men’s jeans from the Goodwill bin store recently (yes I wear worn out men’s jeans – it’s the cheapest way to get “boyfriend jeans”). But when I got them home I realized there was no button! So I decided I might as well fix them and show you guys how I replaced the button.

The video tutorial below will take you through the whole process in about four minutes. 🙂

But, first here’s what you’ll need.

  • jeans that need a new button
  • a pack of jeans buttons (you can buy these online or at your local craft store, the photo below is the kind I used)* affiliate link
  • a pair of vice grips
  • a kitchen towel
