I used to keep them in a beautiful, rare blue Mason jar until my GD picked it up to admire. Well, you know what happened! Now I keep them in small fruit jars from the grocery store. The shape was pretty and the size just right for what I had. Luckily I have quite a few before the company changed the shape. If the buttons are the same I like to sew thread through them so I know the quantity available without too much searching. I also have different categories such as color, metal, wood, child, etc. It looks very nice on that TOP shelf.
