Take your thread and squeeze it through button gap.
Do it like it's shown on the picture.
When you do it center the button on the thread so the button is in the middle

Dip the button in Mod podge and take the excess off(with the brush).


Warning! Mod podge dries quickly so dip the brush into water as soon as you can.

Put another layer of Mod podge or it's easier to just spray it with hair spray.
If you are using hair spray put 2 layers and buttons will be very shiny.
Last picture is the finished product.
