Bobbin organizer

January organizing is happening all over everywhere.  I'm doing a lot of organizing myself.  I'm using cardboard to make stuff I really don't want to spend money to purchase.  I could buy some type of bobbin organizer which might work.  More likely it wouldn't work the way I wanted it to and I'd wind up feeling guilty for spending the money but tossing it out anyway. 

Yesterday I decided to organize these bobbins laying loose in a drawer.  These are the M size bobbins that go to my quilting machine.  They constantly slide around in the bottom of the drawer and the threads come loose and tangle.  Well cardboard is free so no guilt if this doesn't work.  I'll give it a try for a few weeks to see if I'm happy with it.
