Here is a wire storage tip from @rebeccaholt02 - “I use a lot of brass spools in my work and I found this set of bathroom hangers and bars on Amazon that fit the width of the holes in the center as well as the depth from the wall to make the spools spin. Works great! “ Thank you Rebecca for sending this is! We appreciate it!!
