Along with all the other great suggestions, you might have a dispensing 
tin or two of flexible metal strapping which come with their own 
hollow-rectangular clips and a little ratcheting strap wrench for 
tightening. Can't recall what the stuff is called (and I'm 2 days 
driving from home), but they are quite strong and useful for containing 
irregular shapes. A kind of old-school zip tie!
