I have 3-4 odd shape jars that I picked up at garage sales (still looking) and I put my buttons in them. They sit on a shelf that I glued big buttons one...my GD loves to sort my buttons, when she comes to visit (lives in another state). Thats her job sorting buttons. I let her sort like she wants to, by shape, color, however. Usually, I have 2 or 3 jars for her, she surprised me this summer and brought 2 lovely jars that she found at a thrift store. Shes getting at the age now that she wants to decorate the jars...so she said she would decorate some and bring this summer. I love that I can share so type of sewing with her, she can't sit still long enough to sew..Outdoorsy type. LOL
