  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Take a strip of fabric that will go around your waist. You don't want to make it too thick, but thick enough so you can cut a slit and it won't break.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Fold over one end and cut a small slit. Repeat to the other end!


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Stretch out your fabric a bit and sew around the edge of your hole if you wish.
    I'm lazy.
    So I didn't.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Put one hole over the button where you want your button up to cinch in. Just like buttoning up.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Wrap the other end around your back to the other side.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Put the free side of your fabric through the button hole of your matching button.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    Now button the same button with that hole.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    Then button your actual button through the actual hole.

  9. Step 9

    Step 9

    And TADA!
