How do you store bobbins?

Forgot to say I bought it at Connecting Thread for $28.80. Great value! The Frosting threads sell for $10 for a set of 12 so even at the higher price the donut itself cost $6. And it's very pretty to look at. :-D

I have a pastic box made for bobbins with indentations to keep each bobbin standing up in its own slot. But lately, I've started using a glass-headed pin to attach the bobbin to the spool of thread I used when I wound it, so each bobbin is with its own matching spool. Works great. I keep my spools on one of those wooden racks with pegs that you hang on the wall--and I love that too!

My sis got me one of these as part of Christmas gift this year... it falls apart every freaking time I touch it! I am thinking that I might hot glue the sections together cuz I love the way the bobbins are gripped in the little holders.

There are plastic boxes just for bobbins. When I got into quilting back in 1996, my sister would send me all kins of quilting items, so I don't know where she purchased them. Each case hold 10-12 bobbins.
