Alter Pant Waistband with Rubber Bands

Here’s a solution that I found in Real Simple Magazine for altering pants to accommodate an all of the sudden larger waist, whether it be by a new pregnancy or a double cheeseburger.

.

If you have a button and a buttonhole (shown above), or a wide hook and eye, loop one rubber band through the buttonhole or eye and then secure the other side around the button or hook.

.

For tab-front pants with two buttons, loop two rubber bands (or ponytail holders) through one another like a figure eight, then attach each loop to a button on either side.

.

Now you don’t have to waste money on a desperate pants purchase. Works for Me!
