I've started accumulating quite a collection of those 5 gram jars you get from indie companies full of loose pigment but I am at a loss for how to store them. Help please :)

I don't have that many, but for the ones I do have, I have a little cardboard coffin (I'm a total horror freak, so it works for me xD) that I stack them in. And I always stack them upside down, so I can see what color it is before I go rummaging through all of them. It's maybe 8 inches long, and 3 inches wide at the widest part. So it doesn't hold a lot, but it holds what I have. For now anyways.
Maybe you could make like, and awesome nail polish rack type thing, but instead store your pigment jars in them or something? I guess you'd have to have quite a collection for that, but other things could go on it as well!

Use them as a viewfinder in a craft kaleidoscope project! Haha, I keep saying I'll do something like that with mine... But I never have the time. =\

Storage wise, I would find shallow bin/drawers for them to sit atop my vanity. That way, they're in my face to use them. Example: MUJI drawers, but I know Daiso has the stackable ones you can customize yourself too... The only downfall is that you buy each drawer separately instead of a 5 drawer bin already made. Not bad though, since they only cost $3.50/level.
