Cut a long length of upholstery thread and tie to button. Thread both ends through upholstery needle.

>This is great! I want to have an ottoman instead of a coffee table while my little ones are, well, little. Thank you!
AWESOME, you’re so creative, thanks a million!!! I especially like the no sew aspect & how u expIained the corners 😉
Great description! Just wondering, did you remove the buttons from the original ottoman before recovering?
