An apparatus for securing buttons having fastening eyes to a mounting card, the button eyes projecting through the card, which apparatus includes a jig having longitudinally spaced wells for receiving the eyes of buttons carried by the card positioned on the jig, and a narrower open-topped passageway traversing the jig across the wells and having tapered trailing ends. A feed mechanism advances a length of wire from a source thereof along the passageway and through the eyes, and shaping and severing members at opposite ends of the jig, which either reciprocate or oscillate, which sever the length of wire from the source and bend the ends thereof projecting beyond the end wells 180 DEG . The card is then lifted, the fastening wire passing freely through the top of the passageway.
