Nice to see so many that also like buttons. I really should take some pictures when I have them out. DH's grandmother had some all sorted out in little paper envelopes. When I saw the calico buttons I thought up putting them on poster board. I used a large eye needle and dental floss to secure them. I gridded out squares and marked with a Sharpie. If they have a shank, I used an awl to punch a hole in the poster board to poke the shank through. I really didn't want the designs to get scratched and I wanted to see them too, so the page protectors seemed like a good idea.

I am no expert by any means, just an interested collector.
