I use various size ziploc bags for lots of things.
If it is several things that need to stay together (like piecies sorted by fabric for a quilt) I put all the bags in order of use on a bookring with the final bag having the thread, needles, small scissors & seam ripper. Very handy to grab the whole thing to put in your tote with the WIP.

Since I drink General Food International coffees, it dawned on me to reuse the boxy tin containers for my 2" squares.
When finished with the coffee, I vacuumed the last few grains out of the can and wiped out with a dry cloth (Washing the can will cause it to rust!)
For a different look, I've covered two cans with wrapping paper, and they are great to store my 2" squares of scraps.
When 2 cans are full, that is when I make a small table topper or donate squares.
