How to store fabric (?)

I am forever in search of the Holy Grail of Perfect Fabric Storage.... as I am sure many others are too. I've seen wonderful systems: shelves, cupboards, glass-fronted drawers etc etc. and wished I could have them. But alas, I do NOT have:
a) carpentry skills
b) a handy significant other (who might have had these skills)
c) wads of spare cash to buy such a system.

I've also realised that shelves don't really work for me. I've bought numerous bookshelves, supposedly to "solve" this problem, but it all ends up being stuffed in, higgledy-piggledy because I yank it all out when I am searching for the right piece (and you know you have to audition fabrics next to each other to make VISUAL decisions, right? - which means you have to take ALL the eg. reds out and then when you find the right piece you want to get going immediately - who wants to pack fabrics away neatly first???)

I should be more organised. I should be more disciplined. Yadda yadda.

Are you bored yet? The other criterion I have for this Perfect Storage is that it needs to be cheap. And preferably something I can make myself. And if I can make it from a waste material which is plentiful and free, so much the better. (As I often tell my girls, "fortunately, we have more sense than money".) Actually there are plenty of things I have more of, than money... :(

And one of them is fabric! - which brings us back to..... (I have a hopeless amount of fabric, from 25-odd years of extreme hoarding. I have to steel myself and be strong when I give away used clothes to people who need them desperately, because of course they are made of... ? Yup. )
So I've been looking at the boxes our paper comes in, for a while, trying to work something out. These boxes are all over the university and are often thrown away. There MUST be a way I can use them.

No, sorry, this post is not about how I have solved the problem, for I haven't done that yet. But I am going to! It may not be spectacular or even good-looking, but as long as it works, so that I can actually trace a piece I am looking for, instead of this constant "I know I have a piece that is just right, but WHERE?"

I made one previous attempt, which just does not work at all.
. I cut off one side of the box and replaced it with transparent laminating waste. I was trying to "make" glass-fronted drawers. But this was a miserable failure. Not only because they aren't sturdy enough, but because the piece you want is *always* at the bottom! and if you only have a small piece of something you'll never find it in a whole box full.

So, back to the drawing board. I am very determined.
