I'm curious about the creative ways people store spools. Seen some interesting ideas online. Share pictures if you can.

Currently, I just have bins full of about a dozen spools each, but it isn't elegant or pretty. Need some new ideas.

I've got a bin for my specialty filaments but multiple bins were a pain in the back that became hard for me to inventory. At the moment most of my spools are bagged with printed silica container that fits in the center hole using this and this (and this for filling). Those are all sitting on a set of cheap shelves. Its a mild improvement.

What I'm thinking about moving to is something more like this but with the spools bagged. I happen to have a shallow closet in my garage, next to my printer, and I think it'll work well.
