We currently have our buttons roughly sorted by size (and some by color) into a mix of plastic bags and containers, but I'd like to organize them so I have less to sort through when I need a specific number and size of buttons for a project.
I have two divided trays (think of a floss box, only larger) to use and think sorting by nearest eighth-inch (into 1/4" and smaller, 5/16" & 3/8", 7/16" & 1/2", 9/16" & 5/8", 11/16" & 3/4", 13/16" & 7/8", 15/16" & 1") would be nice, but the tool I'd use to help sort, a Staedtler circle template (the top item on this page), is in Colorado and I'm not.
I am wondering whether it'd be more efficient in the long run to replace it or do simply draw a template in Illustrator and print it.
edited to add: I put a .gif copy of the template I drew up in my LJ photo space at http://pics.livejournal.com/oddharmonic/pic/0002ahyx/ .

Then again, I'm always looking for a reason to go touch office supplies and giggle like a kid in a candy store. (:
send hugs to laurel for me?
I adore office supplies but I'm trying to budget, so I'm glad the homemade template worked.
Consider her hugged for you. (She just went to bed since she fell asleep before dinner and I let her nap because she was so grumpy. Now she's doing pretty good although she usually protests bedtime.)
laurel is beautiful.
hope more pics come soon. I love reading your posts about what goes on in the world of melissa, vogon and laurel. Always funny, eben if not indendened to be . take care
