Everyone gains weight from time to time. Now there is no need to discard shirts, trousers and skirts which have become too tight. Use new Wonder Buttons to make your shirts, trousers or jeans approximately half a size bigger.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF YOUR WONDER BUTTON FOR SHIRTS, TROUSERS AND SKIRTS.
1.Loop the spring of your 'Wonder Button' around your existing button, push the metal button through your button hole to create an expanding fastening.
2.For smaller button holes:
Put spring end of your 'Wonder Button' through button hole first and then attach to existing button.
3.For extra expansion for skirts and trousers you can loop your 'Wonder Button' either 2 or 3 together.

SHOE STRETCHER
MINI SIZED...BUT GIVES PROFESSIONAL RESULTS.
The easy quick way to stretch shoes and boots in the area of the ball of the foot where tightness can cause tired and aching feet.
Dampen area to be stretched, as wet leather will stretch more easily and will hold its shape more firmly when dried. Insert stretcher and tighten it until desired size is reached. Leave stretcher in place until leather is completely dry.
