    If you're having trouble keeping track of your smallest tools (figure A), stick them in floral foam to keep them sorted out (figure B).

    Clip straight hooks onto your pegboard above one another at a height that's less than that of the foam block (figure C). Then press the foam onto the straight hooks.

    You can store a box of facial tissue on your pegboard, using a wire coat-hanger. Bend the coat-hanger by pulling it straight down in the center (figure D). Straighten out the wire as much as possible.

    Fold the wire at a 90-degree angle about 8" from the bottom (figure E). Then fold another 90-degree angle about 4" from the bottom so the piece points straight up (figure F).

    Fold the end around so that it points inward and down. Then bend the clothes-hanger hook so that it fits into the pegboard. Use pegboard hooks as a model.

    Set the tissue box in place with the opening facing out, and hook the end of the wire into the opening (figure G). Hang the box on the pegboard (figure H).

    Store gloves by clipping them together with a binder clip (figure I) and hanging the clip on the pegboard.

    Thread washers onto a wire shower-curtain ring, and hang the ring on the pegboard for easy access (figure J).
