My rulers hang on my pegboard. Smaller rulers and hole-less rulers go in ziplock bags, which I then hang on my pegboard. My odds and ends (long pointy objects) go in coffee mugs or mason jars. I use an empty plastic mint container to put my old cutting wheels and needles in. It snaps closed so they can't escape. My UFOs and other craft supplies are in stackable, lidded plastic storage containers. I have an embarrassingly wide variety of craft supplies, some of which I bought and some I inherited from my grandmother ... therefore I have a LOT of plastic containers.
