They work great and you can match the color to the thread color, which I haven't done a lot of. I also use it for my spools of thread. And, they are a great price, about 1.50 for 24.

You can buy a new batch at drugstore or even at PetSmart where they come in several colors but I can get about 20 strips from what they wrap around my arm. Why throw it away? Does that make me "cheap". No one has to actually answer that question, lol.
