PLEASE!! Button Storage Suggestions-PLEASE!!
Good Afternoon Every1,
I hope that all is well with you & your families. I am doing good. I am making my 4 year old son pjs for Christmas. I had to buy buttons for the outfits. I have not been a "Big" Button Collector up to this point. So I need ideas on how to store them in my sewing room. Any help, suggestions, pics, & ideas are GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Please & Thank you so very much for your help.
Have a blessed day.

I use the little craft bags that close and sort according to color. I still have a big container of all kinds of buttons and I go through them sometimes to see what I might need. I don't use that many buttons any more and should try to get rid of a few.

I was lucky! my hubby got lots of the clear plastic containers at work free; the ones with small divided spaces you can adjust that have lids that flip open and lock down tite. They work great and you can see all the colors.

I have a huge metal rectangular bin with a tight fitting lid that I store mine in. They are not sorted and I just dump it out when I'm looking for something. My sister got me the tin full of shortbread cookies many Christmas's ago. I do have a smaller metal biscuit tim full of tiny buttons too. Some people like to put them in old fashioned glass sealers and display them too.
