I reuse clear plastic containers to hold my scraps. I used to use shoeboxes, but you can't see what's in them. I have a big plastic barrel that pretzels came in, full of strips for string quilts. I buy those little dishwasher detergent packs in the largest size possible, 64 or 48 to a tub, and use the clear tubs for scraps. I have a couple of smaller clear tubs that candy came in, and I use them for my postage stamp squares and miniature paper piecing scraps (the tiniest scraps).
