Guitar Pick Fly Button!
Yeah. so my button broke a few months ago in Moab. I substituted a bit of plastic bottle, but the thread broke again after i put them in the wash this morning, and i lost the piece. So i needed a new button.

Light Up and Heat Up.
Light up your zippo and stand it up like a bunsen burner. Take your pliers and pick up the nail. Hold it in the flame 'til it's hot. (Careful, don't burn yourself) Then take the nail and poke two holes in the pick so it becomes a button! you may have to re heat the nail a few times to get through, depending on how thick the pick is.
Sew and Enjoy!
Now thread your needle and sew it on!
Look at how much cooler your pants are with the button you just made!
