I had an Aunt who removed buttons from every piece of clothing before discarding. I have several of her jars. then a older friend (at that time) gave me her Mother's jars of buttons. Just love them!

Great job, I gave my buttons to oldest Daughter, I no longer make anything but quilts. I put buttons on a quilt kit and I bought just the ones for it.

Nah, I think I'll pass. Wasn't all that fun for me. But at least it's done!

Looks like embellishing is in your future.

I have mine all in little zip bags in a old wire egg basket.
I can see what I want right away

Great way to organize buttons.
I have mine in the individual small bags, sorted by color into larger bags, then in (3)popcorn tins. I still make cloths, so I use them.

My mom said she loved to do this, too!
