Remove your loose button (if necessary).
If the button is already missing, remove any loose threads from your garment.
Mark where the button was on the garment to hold place (a felt tip pen works fine, just keep the marking small)

Measure out your thread. An easy measuring reference is the length of one arm fully extended.
Thread your needle.
Pull the thread until two equal parts are on either side of the needle.
Tie a knot in the end of your thread (both ends should be tied together creating a double thread).

Insert your needles into the marked space where your needle should go on the top side of the garment (that way the button will hide your knot).
Pull the thread until the knot rests on the fabric.
Insert your needle into the shank on the back of your button.
Pull the thread until the button rests on the fabric.
Insert the needle back into the same space on your fabric. Repeat the above instructions 5 times or until the button is firmly attached.

To tie off your thread, insert the needle back into the fabric near your previous stitches.
Pull thread until there is a small loop (do not pull flush with fabric).
Insert the needle into the thread loop and pull through.
Pull the thread until the loop closes and a knot is formed.
