Keeping spools tidy..

Some of my spools of thread just keep coming undone. I have thread nets but I like to see the colours at a glance so this is what I do for my thread spools..

1) Cut a pair of tights into 1" strips and
2) clear vinyl strips that are made from cutting up the bag sheets come in when you buy them.

I use purple wonder tape that adheres to itself, but I love your strips of tights - I am very good at ruining those so I'll have recycling material at a regular basis. :)
