Select Your Button. I got this one from a garage sale and I LOVE it! |
Bobby pins and buttons might work if you have a flat little button, but most cool buttons have a little thread loop thing (not the technical term). This will need to be removed.
Don't worry no buttons were hurt in the clipping of this button.
It only looks painful.
I am a hot mess when it comes to glue guns so I have this glue stick melter that works so much better for me.
Smoosh the button on the hot glue (be careful not to burn yourself).
