Thanks. Mine aren’t on the shelf yet, but they will be when I have a shelf to put them on…or maybe a room to put a shelf in to put them on :)

I have SOOOOOOOOOoo many buttons, too. What a nice idea to put them in the glass jars for all to see. I already have them sorted (lol) so that would be really easy. I need some nice shelves for my studio and then I’ll put them up!!

Very nice; very pretty jars.
Since I often want to keep buttons together as a set, I unbend a paperclip most of the way (until it looks like an “L”), slip all the matching button on it, and then bend the top to hold in place. If the buttons are small, I use safety pins.
Makes them easier to gather up.
