this one is well known in DIY organizing tips.

wash and dry the Mason Jars.

drill three holes in the lid (use a piece of wood scrap to do that)

I had some old placemats without use in my house and I wanted to reduce the dust in some of my workshop shelves.

I just fixed them with a stapler, and than I used this wood sticks to join them together. To fix the sticks in the placemats I used hellermann ties.

than I placed two small screw hooks (and left some of the stick out in both sides) to hold the placemats opened.

Mason Jars With Hose Clamps

also a very well known thick in DIY organizing.

Just fix hose clamps in the wood with screws.

then I used a foam double faced tape on top of the screw to protect the glass so the screw didn't break the jar wile I was screwing the hose clamps.

then I placed the jars.

CD Sheves

just screw hooks under the shelves and use kitchen hooks to hold stuff.

Sheets Packages

if you use transparent packages to store stuff in the workshop always makes it easier to find them later.

I used sheets packages because they come with zippers.
