Cheap plastic fruit boxes, that don't have lids, and come in various sizes work well as drawer organizers.

If you want to store finer materials, such as silk threads, ribbons and embellishments delicately, take a large plastic box, with a lid, and a square of belt.
Trace around the bottom of the box in chalk on to the felt.
