I recently was made aware of the idea of pant extenders for those first few months of "not quite big enough for maternity pants....not wearing my normal jeans". Maybe everyone else already new about this. It would save money on buying in between maternity pants. I heard they where at Motherhood but I also found this site. Not quite as frugal as I like....Hey, I bet I could make my own! For more Frugal Friday visit Biblical Womanhood.

I did this by puttung a hair elastic around the button on my pants, threading it through the buttonhole, then around the button again. It worked fine!

Good idea--if your top is long enough! BTW, you most certainly can make your own. Assuming you still have a fabric store in your area, you can buy the elastic with the buttonholes already in it. It's great for growing kids, too. If you can't find it in your area, you can get it from Clotilde.com, homesew.com, & other sewing supply retailers. It's MUCH cheaper to buy the elastic and finish off the ends youself.
Thanks Samara and Sherry for further great ideas.
I've seen rubber bands used as waist extenders.
I've tagged you to do a 7 things meme. I'm looking forward to learning a few new things about you.
