I repurpose many things from around the house. Don't laugh! My pens, markers, etc. are standing in a silverware basket from an old dishwasher. It's got dividers and a little handle. I also use a small silverware divided drawer tray for other items such as seam rippers and other miscellaneous items. The list goes on and on. I don't buy things especially for organization, but use things like pretty tins, clear glass canisters, etc. I keep scraps and accessories for my little shop vac in those large holiday popcorn tins. I said "Don't laugh!"
