Melissa,
storing seeds short term (two weeks) in plastic bag is fine, any  time
longer and they need to be stored in cool, dry, cloth or paper bags.  I
have some regular cloth bags that can be purchased for seeds specifically
but I also go to the thrift store and buy pillow cases and thread a piece
of yarn through the top and use them as storage bags.  I've also had some
volunteers make some cloth bags out of inexpensive material.

Regards, S
