I saw a rug making video that had you tie the strips into a large, loose knot to prevent tangles. I would put them over a hanger, and secure them with a smaller piece of scrap tied just tight enough to stay in place and not slide off.

OM gosh. I'm getting a couple of pms from OCD people saying the hanger hooks are not in line, the strips are not evened up, or sorted by color and it is driving them nuts. I don't have an OCD bone in my body. So no I'm not changing how the strips are hung. LOLOLOL

Look for Artbin fabric strip case.
Once I open a jelly roll, I cut the strips in half, starch, etc.
Whatever is left after the project is stored... wherever. LOL

I saw a pic somewhere of strips hung from shower curtain hooks on a curtain rod. Rulers were also hung the same way. You could easily see the colors, designs, sizes of the strips, and they were easy to take down & use just the ones you wanted. Rulers were easy to see & remove/replace too. Clever.

How do I store my jelly roll fabric?
I have a bunch of those clear plastic containers from the grocery store (when I purchase leaf lettuce). I wash them out and use them for my fabrics. Our house gets dusty with burning firewood. Keeping in the clear containers is a great help!
