Thread Holder For Hand Sewing - Cheap Idea

Neat, cheap, tidy, keeps the thread from getting dusty/fluffy/dirty/whatever. The bag stops the thread from rolling away and folds up nice and tight so it doesn't take up much extra space when storing. And who doesn't have a ziploc type baggie of any sort in their home?

That is a great idea...and they have those snack size ziploc bags that would be just the right size. Thanks!
