Thread Storage

I am looking for some suggestions.

Current system:



All of my thread is stored on those nifty racks that you get at the craft store. They look pretty but...1. all my thread is getting dusty...and 2 they get in the way... and 3 just when you get one spool fourteen other ones jump off as if they are all volunteering for duty. Nice of them to volunteer but really, I only needed one. Famous piano quilt guy uses jars. They look great but no place to put them. Even Pinterest failed on this one but...

New idea!

Thinking of getting gallon plastic bags? Store threads by color and tuck in with same color fabric drawer. I foresee tangling thread tails in my future but at least they will be clean and they can hang out with the embroidery flosses.



So looking for help here ladies and gents.
