Super Easy Tip for Threading Buttons with Yarn

This post contains affiliate links.

Have you ever needed to thread a button with yarn?  I certainly have had a fair number of crochet, knit, and even just good ol' fashioned crafts that needed this done.  It's one of those silly little things that could take your f o r e v e r, but it doesn't need to. Maybe you already have a trick (share your secrets in the comments!) but if you don't, here's mine: a glue stick.

Gently press the yarn into the stick and then pull it out.  Take your fingers and twist in the direction of the yarn, essentially you're glueing the strands of yarn tighter together.  Keep twisting until you have a fine point.  Your fingers will be a tiny bit sticky, but most of the glue will come off by simply rubbing your fingers together (if it doesn't you used too much).  Give the glue a few seconds to set and then easily poke it through the button hole! It's so easy!

So, what do you think?  Is this something that you've already been doing?  Is it something you're going to try?  Or do you have something that works even better?  Tell me!
