Clever Erin shared several great tips for organizing her craft room. My favorite was how she stored her bobbins:
Erin says, "I accidentally realized that the metal bobbins are attracted to magnets, so I looked in the craft section of our local big box store and found strips of adhesive magnet. Then I just lined them all up!"
Looks great, Erin! Thanks for sharing your ideas. To see more clever organizing tips, check out her blog post {Craft Closet Makeover}.

What a great idea - definately going to use this one.
Thanks for sharing :)
Brilliant!
If only my bobbins were metal. The plastic bobbins are missing out!
I need to organize my bobbins and this is perfect, thanks!
Thanks for the ideas.

For those with plastic bobbins, this might work:
Hang a cork board in your sewing space. You can get chunky push pins that have a large "head" that protrudes. The bobbins would sit on these.
Hi! Great idea, but I'm concerned the metal bobbins become magnetized and will affect the motherboard on a computerized sewing machine.
Anyone have similar concerns?
Take care, Leslie
Thanks so much for the feature!
Great idea for metal bobbins! I don't think the magnetic strength of these little strips could do any damage to a computerized sewing machine. My husband attaches magnetic picture frames with strips similar to these directly onto our cpu box with no adverse effects.

I've been using these HandiBobs for a couple of years. They fit on to the top of the spools and you can just clip the bobbin to the spool. The guys at the local sewing machine store showed them to me.
I love them!! Keeps me from trying to rematch bobbins with their thread spools. Especially when you have 5 reds all very similar XD
One place to get them:
