I like to keep mine in old pill bottles I have from my meds. I prewind my bobbins so i just have to change it out when i am sewing and not have to wind each time. I then mark the bottle with the color inside. the top can be marked to with the color if you stand them up in a drawer. i have the plastic cabinet that fits under the desk so it is right by my machine.Two drawers for the thread and the top drawer for the bobbins. I have a small box in the drawer too to throw the emptys in to wind for my next project. one bottle holds about 6 bobbins.
