Wax the thread with a candle so the thread won’t tangle along the way. Thread the  needle  and tie it off. Step 4: Start with passing the needle up once, pass the needle once again, but this time loop the thread around the needle once. Then repeat the process until you finish. Step 5: Pass the needle through the buttonhole to the other side of the fabric. Then secure the end of the thread by passing the needle through stitches and loop the needle twice. Step 6: Finally, snip the thread off. Links to Buy Sewing Tools on Amazon Needle Scissors Awesome Sewing Kit
