A Day of Firsts -- Jeans
My First Time Successfully Repairing a Piece of Clothing (Jeans, no less)
You'll need some button jeans (I got a pack of 6 from my local Michael's for < $2) and a hammer. You will also want a small scrap of jean material so you can patch the hole if you plan on putting the button in the same place as the old one. I ended up moving my button over just a smidge to loosen them up, so I forwent the patching part of the instructions.
The back of the jeans, you can see where I placed the tack before hammering it in to the button. |
Poke the tack through the the jeans in the place you want your button to go, lay the button face down on a flat surface, line the tack up with the button and use your hammer to, gently, secure the back of the tack to the button. I say gently because you probably don't want to go all Thor on the button and put a hole in the table instead. Not that that happened to me or anything, because I was gentle. ;)
The tack and button we'll be using to fix Dad's jeans. |
And that's it! Super quick and easy and you get to keep your favorite jeans!
The finished product. Looks good! |
You won't even notice the hole unless you're looking for it and my Dad doesn't care about those types of things anyway. He's just happy he can wear the jeans again. :)
