Paper Bobbins and Wooden Spools

Try breaking a bit of the thread. If you can break it easily, its too old to sew with! You will be sorry if you put alot of time into piecing something and it all falls apart with ancient thread. It gets brittle.

Thanks for the ideas, I really like the idea of putting them in a glass jar to display them. I was planning on using the thread - waste not, want not. I had no idea that pre-wound bobbins were made out of paper! I have never seen pre-wound ones so this was brand new to me. Thanks everyone who posted!
