Ways To Fix A Denim Button?

To replace a broken button on jeans without sewing, lay your jeans front-side up on a sturdy table or workbench. Unzip the fly and open the jeans at the waistband to reveal the hole where the button is missing. Hold the waistband at the hole and turn it over so you can see the back of the hole. Be sure to fully remove the old button before installing a new button. You can use a replacement tool to snap a new button into place in a hurry, or sew on a new button.
