Bunches of Buttons

What do you call a collection of buttons?  Is it a bungle of buttons?  A group of buttons?  I'm not sure, but I'm going with a bunch of buttons.

I've been busily making bunches of buttons in preparation for the workshop I'll be teaching in June, and the gold doublet that I'm trying to finish.

Here are a few pics of recent buttons.  Mostly experiments with different types and weights of thread/cord in an even-weave button.


And the finished bunch of buttonhole buttons for the gold doublet.
