You Will Need (1 thing)

  • 1 Strip Of Fabric Long Enough To Go Around Your Waist

Steps (9 steps, 300 minutes)

  1. 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. 2

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

  3. 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. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Now button the same button with that hole.

  8. 8

    Then button your actual button through the actual hole.

  9. 9

    And TADA!
