In order to fix your snap button you will need a pencil, straight pin, sewing needle, thread, and sewing scissors. Once you have gathered all of your materials you can begin fixing your button. The first step in fixing your snap button is to pull out all of the loose threads surrounding the button.
It holds the socket (top), which is riveted to the underside of the button cap. Inside the socket is a tight wire spring that expands and contracts around the stud as it is pressed on and pulled off. Eventually, the spring looses its strength, causing the fastener to fail.
Screwdriver and Pliers Method
Insert the head of the screwdriver in between the back of the rivet or button. Work it around a little to help loosen it. Now use the pliers on the rivet or button top; twist it up and down to release it from the bottom.

Snap buttons are a set of small fused discs typically used in fabrics as an alternative to regular buttons, they are also known as press studs, snaps or poppers and are usually made from metal.
Under the button you will wrap around the thread on your needle around the threads connecting the button to the coat. Wrap this thread around 4-6 times. This will stiffen the button.
