From Lifehacker 2:

Use Muffin Tins to Organize Larger Screws

RoboRyanTron shares a way to hold larger items that won't fit in the usual ice cube trays:

    When putting together a new desk, entertainment center, nuclear-laser death-ray, or bed frame there are always so many different screws, nails, and radioactive rods. 

Before you begin assembling, try organizing them in a muffin pan to prevent mixing things up and losing parts.

Even better if they were originally labeled with a sticker you can put on the pan. Ice cube trays are also a good choice for smaller parts.
