Lose the button, keep the bag
I have a little (large) stash of extra buttons – the ones that come with clothes that have buttons just in case you lose one which, you hope never happens because it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the matching one.
While I have not found a use for the menage of buttons (and no longer have many of the garments to which they belong), I have found a use for the little plastic baggies they come in. I went on a trip and used the baggies to make my own daily packets of vitamins. It was perfect. In the past, I have put them in a small plastic bottle – but then they are too hard to get to. And usually, I dump a bunch of them in sandwich bag – but that is too big and hard to keep track of which is what. But plastic extra button bags are just right.
