How do you keep your thread & spools tidy?? Old spools had slots for securing thread ends. I have them in plastic containers, neat then they all come unwound. Thanks!

Hi! If you buy some clothespins, you can wrap each spool of thread around a clothespin and then use the clamp to keep it secured! Hope this works for you!
Could you keep a small piece of tape around each one? Nothing glamorous about it, but I think it'd keep them from coming unwound...
Here's a project that I did to organize my friends threads and spools. It's great! http://www.hometalk.com/diy/craft-room/craft-supply-storage/ikea-hack-paper-towel-holder-turned-into-a-crochet-thread-organizer-18009339

I keep my threads colour coordinated in zip bags. To stop threads unravelling use hair scrunches or hair ties or clips, dear pl ending on size of spools. Tip is to take a golf tee and use to keep a bobbin and same colour spool together, put bobbin on tee then push through hole in spool, you could trap in thread while doing this.
I have a bag of small rubber bands, works for any size spool - even bobbins, easy on/off.
