Homemade????????? how about taking a bit of panty hose and make a "sock" for your spool with only one end open.

i use the mesh wrappers when sewing with the thread, but if you have enough, use it for storage too. I use the children's hair bands from the dollar store for storing the embroidery thread. A few of the mesh wrappers came with my machine, so it is enough to use for now. I will check out the florist next time I'm out.
The panty hose idea sounds like an easy solution also.

A word of caution when you start using adhesives ... you could gum up your threads and create problems. Just a thought!

I asked my local grocery store to save the flower nets they threw away. When I got them I cut to spool size slipped on.
Worked perfect! The down side after a while they do stretch, but not a big deal just get more nets
Hope that helps

Also for bobbin thread you can get a piece of plastic tubing. Cut a slit in top player then trim to bobbin size
