How do you like to organize your threads and supplies for your bracelets? Do you use spindles or a craft box? How do you organize your patterns too?

Right now, I have my embroidery floss organized by colour group in a good sized plastic tote (reds with reds, blues with blues, etc.) Each colour has its own clear ziptop plastic bag, so I can easily grab what I need. I go through enough floss (I also cross stitch and thread crochet) that a floss binder really isn't practical, I'd have to constantly refill it.

As far as patterns, right now I have the bookmarks organized by number of threads. I've tagged each bookmark with descriptions, so I can search for something I want in a specific folder, and find it right away. If I'm looking for, say, a knotwork pattern with a background that fades in, I'd search for the keywords gradient and [I]knotwork[I] and find what I was looking for pretty quick. I may have to reorganize, though, when I have more patterns bookmarked. Right now I have around 200 in the queue.

I place my strings into small plastic bags by their color number (just in case i run out of string while making a bracelet i can get the right color rather than one that looks similar) and all of them are inside of a box. My used strings never go back into the plastic bags because they are usually not useful anymore.
Personally i don't like using spindles because even though they prevent knots they leave creases in the string and it just bothers me while im working.

For Patterns, they just go into my favorite (usually i stay with a limit of 18 strings, but thats because the thicker they get the longer it takes, and i like bracelets that i can finish within two days). I usually go through my favorites, and pick a pattern that i like from there, once i have finished making it and publish it into the website, i take it off my favorites. (if i want to do the pattern again i can always go back to it through my pictures :)

I personally like to print or cut out little bobbins and wrap the threads around them and keep them in a box.

I keep my threads in plastic bobbins which I found on amazon and I then put them into colour coordinated boxes.

I've got mine on plastic bobbins with the DMC color number on them, so I know when I get low which ones to replace. And I've sorted mine into colors, and each color has it's own bin.

I wrap partially used string on bobbins and put them in a plastic box. And I store the unused string in a random box.
