I bought a [label stash folder](https://www.littlerosycheeks.com/products/label-stash-folder) from Little Rosy Cheeks. It’s intended for storing your sew-in labels but I thought I’d give it a go for organising my buttons. Really pleased with the result - now I can browse all my buttons like trading cards! I’ve organised the pages by colour to make it really easy to find what I’m looking for. ![IMG_7165](https://forum.stashhubapp.com/uploads/default/original/1X/db99b60c592f7e12539c9df93ca371f67badeaf8.jpeg) ![IMG_7166](https://forum.stashhubapp.com/uploads/default/original/1X/0925c9a74521f7acef36f65d7019664412f7c62e.jpeg) How do you store your buttons? ---

Currently, I just have them in various ziplock bags/cards, but I might need to buy a label folder soon!! ---

Brilliant idea, how many pockets are there in each pouch ---

Each sheet has 8 pockets (4 front and 4 back). My buttons were already in little clear bags from my previous storage system so I kept them in the bags and have put two bags of buttons in each pocket. ---

That is genius! Love it. I have mine by color in little clear candle jars ![20250121_123210](https://forum.stashhubapp.com/uploads/default/original/1X/303c2b9072a3898729694f6dfc5ff72b19de5405.jpeg) ---

When my favourite fabric shop closed in December, the owner let me have the empty button tubes. I have a large button collection, which includes some from my late grandmother. ---

I use small boxes with multiple slots. Got them from my SIL ( she got the nail stickers/foils in them) ---

I’m trying to sort mine into multi-compartment Organiser boxes like this 👇🏼 ![1000125015](https://forum.stashhubapp.com/uploads/default/original/1X/0f6f2cc4cb9159a5a79e2160bdc7aeaa964f289e.jpeg) My aim is to keep each box to a different colour + label the lid with the sizes in mm. To measure the sizes accurately (as I own a lot of buttons that I don’t know the measurements of) I use some Vernier Calipers that I got for about £1 on eBay years ago. ![1000125017](https://forum.stashhubapp.com/uploads/default/original/1X/c76e21ae82d532ee6707c2dd494df04ed843ec94.jpeg) ---

I love this idea. I have mine in small boxes with dividers but they take up a lot of space in my drawers. Your folder is a great idea to keep them all on a shelf with my patterns ❤ ---

Thanks 😉👍🏼. I bought like 3 or 4x from eBay at the time ('cos I do have a habit of loosing stuff 🤦🏻‍♀️). And, I keep x1 in my handbag - so I can measure buttons if I happen to come across some when I’m out shopping to accurately check their sizing 📏 😂. ---

This is so cute! I currently have about 8 jars of various sizes sorted by color so I couldn’t put them all in one folder buuuttttt this would be fantastic for those “special” buttons. It sucks dumping out an entire jar just to get a matching set! ---

Mine are all in jars or tins as well. It’s a fun treasure hunt until you need that matching set 🤣 ---

The idea of buying a set of buttons then mixing them all up with other buttons in a tin is so wild to me 😅 ---

They came all mixed up. Either from thrift shops or “inherited”. The ones that are together I try to keep together in baggies or on their cards. I don’t think I could just Willy nilly throw them in either ---

Mine were all in a tin which I inherited from my grandmother. A few years ago I sorted them by colour in bags, but it was still difficult to find matching buttons. ---

What were these grandmas thinking with their mixed buttons 😂 probably lots of them are what I call ‘orphan buttons’ where there’s only one of that type. Likely loads of those spare buttons they give you when you buy a blouse 🤔 [Next page](https://forum.stashhubapp.com/t/my-new-buttons-storage/174.md?page=2)
