Threads or strings of your choice.
Plastic straws.
Patience and creativity.
Steps to create your thread holder:

Using a hot knife or scissors, cut the plastic bottle lengthwise, making sure to leave the bottom intact.
In both halves, make holes along the length and on both sides using a soldering iron or hot nail.
Insert straws or straws through the holes in each half, passing them through the center of the threads.
Trim off any excess length from the straws.
Make holes under each spool without threading the threads through them.
Tie the two halves of the bottle together with a piece of string. And voilà! You have a simple and practical solution for organizing your threads.
