hi i am sharing the way i found to button up easily. with my arthritis and jack's pd buttons wre becoming a problem. after becoming totally frustrated trying to close blouse wrist buttons. i thought there has to be something i can do to get the job done. my solution was to take a LARGE ordinary paper clip---hook large end over button then you take small end of clip - that will easily fit through the button hole and just remove clip and you are buttoned up. hope i've explained it well enough to be of use to someone else. my family can't decide whether i am too cheap,too lazy to go shopping or real clever. i was raised to make do or do without..it is that i hate to shop and try to find a particular item. if i can avoid shpping i feel i have saved my nerves and my time [i prefer reading and solving puzzles] i used to do a lot of crafts and artwork but can no longer steady my hands so now i do other things to keep my mind active. i love it when my kids or grandkids call to ask if i can help them solve their problems. the best medicine for happiness is to be needed---thank God i am still useful and the kids trust me to listen to their woes and they know i will keep their confidence --makes life worth living. love connie
