I can show you how to do buttons! That's pretty simple that I can manage it a least. But the more holes, the more secure it is to attach it to the shirt or pants. I mean, assuming you...what's the wording, 'tie it off' well, so it doesn't come undone. I mean, they'll still come off if you pull at them too hard, but. It should hold, more or less, through day to day stuff, outside of fighting or something.
