Repair with jeans button
Get your jeans button from the market or supermarket, or from a sewing accessory store.
Step #1
Use the cutting part of the first pliers to hold the nail inside the jeans.
Step #2
Hold the head of the button with the teeth of the other pliers, holding the pliers firmly makes a right and left antagonistic movement while you pull on one of the pliers.
Step #3
So take the jeans. With the new button you have in hand, use the part with the nail, place it in the original location of the one you had on the back of the jeans size. Or a little farther toward the end closest if you want to expand the waist.
Step #4:
Take the other part of the jeans button, put it well in front of the one you have already pushed in the back.
Step #5
Once the previous tip reaches the middle of the button put the lower part on a flat hard surface and then press with force. or you get help with a small hammer. If you manage to do it by hand, be aware that when you hear the click, the jeans button is fixed.

Repair with ordinary button
-
In case you don’t have this kind of push button you can use an ordinary button.
-
You have to sew it in such a way that the button is not flattened against the jeans, to do this get help from a match or something of the same thickness.
-
Place it at the back of the button location that is on the back of the waistband. And sew the button with the match.
-
After sewing like this you slide the match under the seam and pull a little on the button which leaves a gap between the button and the jeans, which will allow to detach and attach more easily.
