I Need Help

I have been chipping away at my studio a little bit at a time. 
Today, I finally finished organizing and folding my cotton fabric. 
I think it looks very nice.  I hope I can keep it that way.


 The next area to tackle is my drawer full of my beloved rick rack and trims.  
It is a huge mumbo jumbo mess.  Help????

Any suggestions for how to deal with this?  I will entertain any and all ideas.  And if I use your idea, maybe I'll share some with you, like  a  finder's fee!

    How abut using Christine's binding method....roll it up on toilet/paper towel rolls and use a pin to secure. Then you can stack them up or lay them down and be able to see what you have at a moments glance?

    I love the idea of rolling it on wooden spools.
    It keeps it neat and looks nice.

    Roll them on empty toilet rolls or empty paper towel rolls.

    I put each different piece in separate ziplock bags. I sort the color groups together in a marked shoebox-sized tub with a lid.

    I don't know how big your pieces are, and I know you have MUCH more than I do, but I like to wind each one on a seperate piece of flat cardboard (cut up a cereal box with and old rotary cutter)about the size of a 3x5 card. I store them on edge lined up in a drawer. I use a pin to secure the end to the layer underneath. I can see what I have at a glance.
