With many shirts and sweaters with buttons I find that over the period of usage the threads inside the buttons start to unravel. Eventually this causes the button to pop off unexpectedly. How can I keep the threads of the buttons from unraveling?

Removing the thread and stitching back is an option, but finding the exact color thread is difficult.

1. Nail polish

Apply a coat of clear transparent nail polish on the holes inside the button. This will seal the threads once it is set. Cut off any loose strands of threads before applying.

2. Glue

This is almost the same method mentioned above, but it is with transparent glue instead.
