So, I bought two drawer organizers at Walmart for next to nothing and then went to town on my spools of thread;wrapping up the loose end. I tried the tape trick, but didn't like it. So, I thought of a rubberband. I found these small ones in the hair section; they're for braids! They worked like a charm in holding the tail in place.
My loose trims were in a bin, but again no rhyme or reason. So, I bought this tray with slots in the sides. I cut some foam core board that I had leftover from a project and wrapped the trims around the board. I then placed the corners into the slots and they stand up nicely!

I even took care of my remnants....again, these were in a drawer, but I couldn't see what I had....so I actually measured them all out and made a template on the computer so I could tag the fabric (indicating the fabric width and total yardage). Anything over one yard was bundled, labeled and wrapped with rafia. Now I know what I have! The smaller pieces were all neatly folded and stacked; small stacks were tied with rafia and then they went into a box.
I still have work to do in my main closet; I know I want to put a peg board up to hold the large spools of thread for my serger. I can also see hanging my zippers (similar lengths together) by the zipper pull versus how I have them rubber banded together and in a drawer; that will free up that drawer space for other goodies! It's a process....I know you feel my pain. But, I know in the end I'm going to be happy that I took the time to get organized.
