I found these great little containers at Walmart. They are in the seasonal sections. They sell them to put gifts of cookies or breads in.
They fit great in a Nightstand that my DH got off a job for free.
And, I got these great oblong baskets at the Dollar Tree to put in this little stand that I found at the thrift store. I store my 1.5 (ish) strips in for making string blocks.
I don't cut down my larger chunks anymore. You never know when you might need that slightly larger piece. (Ask me how I know!)
