Default Preserving runner bean seeds?

I don't want to use freezer space, which is limited. Last year I put
some in a sealed plastic container in a cool dry place and when I looked
at them in Spring the whole lot had gone mouldy, despite being "dry"
when stored.

What is the best way to prepare / store them? I'm wondering if this will
work: Since they are too small to put in string bags I'm considering
putting meal sized portions in spouses old tights and hanging them in
the attic. They should be cool and airy there and hopefully not go
mouldy. If suspended from a wire the mice should not be able to scoff
them either - unless they can walk a tight rope ;-) Any other
suggestions for preserving them?
