I use large, 5" high, prescription medicine containers for pens, scissors, hooks and just about anything that is prone to rolling off a table.
Found a closet organizer at a yard sale for $10.00 that is six shelves high and it makes a perfect place to keep my fabrics. I can see exactly what I have on hand. Although there always seems to be that one fabric I just have to have. Bet many can relate to that.
Bamboo skewers are perfect for shaping corners.
The plastic containers that fruits come in are perfect for keeping pre-cut squares organized, the smaller ones are great for keeping small templates safe and together.
Love this topic, will be watching for more ideas.
