My Thread Storage

very good idea

That is a good idea. I did mine the hard way by winding on cards but I have a double-sided plastic box that I put all of mine in. It has a handle which makes it easy to carry if I need to take it with me.  I'll post a picture of mine in a thread if I can.

That is a really good idea, I like that you can see the codes and names very clearly thanks to the tags.

I also use this method for storing my threads, but I don't print the number and name on a sticker, instead, I just write the number (in big font size) on the ziploc bags using permanent marker. Since I don't want to buy index cards, I just use leftover paper that I fold up twice, so it's quite thick.

Before putting the thread into the ziploc bag, I unwind it and divide it into eight parts, which I gather together and fold once. Then, I slip back the label bands over it.  

Because I don't have all the DMC threads (yet), I store them in one of my desk drawers which I divided into two using a cardboard divider.

I don't have many WiP and since I've only started stitching, my projects have been small ones, so when I'm working on projects, I take all the threads (in their bags) I need and put them in a plastic case together with the fabric and the printed pattern.

Thanks for sharing your idea.  I do a similar thing but I do not have them in a shoe box.  Whenever I am working on a project I collect all the snack sized bags with the thread I need and put them in numerical order.  Then I place these bags (with a punched hole in a corner) on a binder ring.  Those little bags tend to be very slippery.

What a great idea! So organized and you don't get the kinks in the floss like with bobbins, thank you so much for sharing :)
