| I have a small drawer in my bedroom devoted to my personal toiletry items etc...sometime ago I purchased (cheaply I add!) some small open weave plastic trays of various sizes to sort my items. From front-to-back I have 3 mini trays, 1 for lipsticks, 1 for eyeshadows & applicators, and one for perfumes (not that I wear make-up often but I like to store the little I have tidily). I also have one long narrow tray which runs alongside these 3 from front-to-back in which to store all my hair accessories...i.e. slides, clips and scrunchies. I wear my hair tied up A LOT so I have quite a few hair-scrunchies which I kept having to pull out to look underneath for clips or slides... 
Well...I kept an empty kitchen/paper towel cardboard tube and threaded them all onto that. VOILA!!! Now they all sit neatly along the side of the tray...and I recycled some cardboard  Plus no-one sees it because it's tucked into a drawer

| well, I don't have any scrunchies, but I do use covered elastics, and I thread those onto a 'bracelet" type thing (with an opening), it came with the elastics, and it's been great!! keeps all of them together & handy!!! I think "Goody" is the brand.

| We store ours all in one drawer. But the tube is a great idea.
