When I was a child, I loved my mom's button collection probably recycled from the many garments she had sewn. I would line them up like a choir with the different sectiona. I ended up being a music director with a choir of young people rather than buttons
. I keep my buttons on the top of a shelf in pint jars that I have put a round of fabric that coordinates with my sewing room under the lid. I take all of my buttons off of their cards and then semi coordinate them in the jars. I have a white jar, modern colors, red, yellow, browns , blues and greens, and two jars of vintage buttons that I have kept from my mom's button box. She passed away last week. I think I may sit down, dump them all out and organize my choir just for the fun of it.
