UMM, that sounds like a great idea, never thought of using those for cords. They drive me crazy too.

I think it would work, give it a try. There cheap enough.

Thank you Karen. I don't know, was just getting frustrated with all the dangling thread. Was using tape and got tired of fooling of getting new strands every other time.

Sulky ends pull out like Maderia & Robin-Anton so you can just wrap them around the top or bottom.

You read my mind. Have been doing this for quite a while. Also they sell that plastic net to put over them. If you can get in good with a local flower shop, spider or fuji mums & gerbera dasies come with these nets over them so they don't tangle when shipped. Get them to save some for you. When I was still in the flower business, that is what I did.
Where do they sell the plastic nets at?

I think Sewing with Nancy sells them on her site. It's a long piece that you can cut as long as you want. I just always got them free from flower shop.

I use these, too. There are other plastic bobbin thingies, but they're way more expensive than the above mentioned ponytail holders.
