oomph-worthy [quick tip]. buttons.

you know those extra buttons that come with your shirt or jacket?
mine would end up in a pile of mess like this, and it
made finding a particular button a chore.

now, i tuck the tag into the little bags as it usually has the item name, description, or at least the brand on it which makes finding a replacement button much easier.

mason jars are great for organizing.

Mine are in my accessory hanger. You know those that you hang inside your closet that has pockets in them? Inside those ;) The mason jar is a great idea though! I like that.

I use jewelry organizers from JoAnn or Michaels...they are about $1-$2 in price range...either rectangle boxes with tiny cubbies built into them, or stackable little cups that twist together. They're great for organizing jewelry too!

Love this idea. Brilliant. I do keep them in a cute container but did not think of putting tags. :)
