From one of my customer: "I am looking for storage with compartments that will hold my C-Lon spools and was hoping you could give me any suggestions of a container that would work. Right now they are in little bags everywhere and I have finally decided having them all in one place would be very helpful."
This clear plastic box holds 12 spools of the standard C-Lon Bead Cord Tex 210 or 12 spools of C-Lon Tex 400 Bead Cord.
Beside these boxes, I have a few recommendations in a 2013 post HERE. I keep part of my personal stock on wood spool racks hanging on the wall by my jewelry desk. I keep others in drawers stored in small cardboard boxes that hold 8 spools, and some in these plastic storage boxes.
I originally got these plastic boxes with 6 compartments to hold bobbins of C-Lon Bead Thread Size D and AA and have them available for purchase on the C-Lon Bead Thread pages HERE. They hold up to 48 bobbins. I also use them to hold many other small thing around my studio. The empty boxes are on sale for $5.00 each for a limited time. Get them while you can to store the C-Lon spools you already have on hand.
