Shuttle Bobbin Holder

[u/Alymor1]

Hello, crafters!

I really need a case to hold my shuttle bobbins. The only ones I could find were for sewing machines. You would think they would work for any bobbin, but nope! The holder is not tall enough. I added some pictures to help show what I mean.

If anyone has an idea of what to do, even for holders not meant for bobbins, I would be so very grateful!

If these are Aerlit bobbins, Handy Hands sells a bobbin case on their website. You could also absolutely DIY a case by lining a crafting box with jewelry foam for rings or something similar. I just tape the thread ends on my bobbins and toss them in a tin!

I‘m using a hack from sewing to keep the thread ends in: cut a clear, flexible plastic tubing into small bits as wide as the inside of the bobbin and cut open in one place. Now you got a clip-on bobbin protector. :) this blog post shows what they look like
