Abstract: A button fastening apparatus is provided. The button fastening apparatus includes at least a first and second assemblies and a method for converting button-style fasteners to push-pull detachable fasteners, enabling individuals with limited manual dexterity to wear the button-up clothes they desire. The first assembly may be dimensioned and adapted to attach a magnetic portion thereof to any button-style fastener. The second assembly may form a cover portion interconnected to a ferromagnetic portion through a button placket, so that the first and second assemblies may be easily removably secured via a push-pull detachable fastener system, which subsumes the button-style fastener.
