There must be a myriad of storage hacks for computer cables, for another example. Perhaps, like me, you should consider downsizing to your present requirements — use the pens now as they'll dry-up and become useless in storage. I have mouses (mice?) and hubs, etc. that have deteriorated and become unusable in storage. Plastic (a ubiquitous material) becomes brittle, or a sticky gooey mess after its best-before time is up.

Gravity usually works well when a suitable position has been found for books unless I'm missing something - Please add necessary detail about the [volatile?] conditions where restraint is beneficial for your belongings. The problem is the desirable characteristics of stretchy compounds you love degrade over time. | |
