Scrapbusting DIY Bobbins
"We all have short lengths of thread rescued from almost empty bobbins that are set aside for basting and hand sewing, right? Until now, I've wound my leftover thread around small pieces of cardboard. Well, I've come up with this much more stylish and effective way of thread management... DIY fabric bobbins! These can be made in any size to fit your scraps and your specific needs. My templates — imperfect as they are — are available for downloading if need them. They are about 3" and 2 5/8" high as is, but of course, you can enlarge them."
