I use the tins that have magnetics on the bottom for different spices, colored sugar and such.

After googling different ideas I was unable to find something that would hold spools of thread or bobbins... so I'm rethinking the plastic spool pin thingee that was on the door in the first place. I can still use that, and add magnetic bins or something underneath it.

I finished installing the innards of the 'new' cabinet today, it didn't come with any so I took the metal contraption out of the old cabinet. It works beautifully!
