I keep quart sized zip lock freezer bags in my sewing box.
I've got a bag of sewing machine attachments, easier than the box they come in which won't stay shut when the container is joggled around.
One bag contains a few buttons, D-rings,
Another has a few snaps, hooks and eyes.
What your GD has will differ, but the zip lock bags are easy to see thru and won't take as much room as a small plastic container.
