DIY bobbin clips
 

Nice blog. This is a tutorial on do-it-yourself bobbin clips. Sure makes the bobbin box look much neater.

WHat a great idea! I went to dollar store and bought a bag of Childs hair ties. They are in different colors. I used those on bobbins and small spools of thread. So far my bobbin threads the same color.

what a clever idea!

What a NEAT idea. My bobbins are always a mess. Going to try this.

Great idea. I also saw someone put hole paper reinforcers on the top of their bobbin to put the string underneath. I have them on several of my bobbins and so far it works good.

For years, I have used the little rings that come with inhalation bottles. It looks like the ones that Clover has. And they are free. My bobbins have been neat for years just using something that otherwise would have been thrown away.

Going to get some of this tubing this weekend, great idea! thanks for sharing!

OH WOW!!! This is so cool. Thank you for posting. I am a "cant stand thread loose" person and this is right up there with the best things I could ever do for me.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Thanks for the idea. I wear a C-PAP to breath with at night this will be perfect! I have been wondering what I could use to keep those bobbins from being so messy.

amazing how we can figure something out that is such a simple solution. Thanks for sharing.

Great Idea. thanks for the link

I was so excited about the idea of tidy bobbins I went to Home Depot & picked up a roll of the tubing. I could not cut it with the Exacto knife though. I finally found I could use cheap utility scissors I found at a swap meet to start a cut then I rolled the tubing as I continued to cut which now made a single thickness. Then it was fairly easy to cut the ring. I sometimes had to clean up an edge but it works great. My neighbor's husb. is going to take the rest of the tubing & use his jigsaw to finish cutting up the whole thing. I'll have lots of rings for friends. Thanks so much for sharing this site.

I'm glad to hear that the tubing works well and tickled to hear some of the other ideas posted also. Hopefully, my bobbin boxes will be neater from now on (or as soon as I incorporate some of the ideas). :-)

Thanks for reading my original post and thanks for all the nice comments.

This is a super and easy solution.......Thanks for the info....Very clever

Ingenious!!!!!!!

What a genius idea. Fantastic way to keep things orderly. Thanks for the information.

Found the tubing today at the Hardware Hank in Hayward WI for 44 cents a foot! I bought two feet for less than a dollar. I used my Cutco kitchen shears to cut the tubing. This works great! Thanks again for the link!

This is AWESOME!!!!!!!
