Yes, there is the tiny hair clip idea, however my gripe with them if using on all the bobbins - they are like the pens with caps with the pocket clip, always seeming unbalanced when you use them. There is the problem of catching the leader threads on the clippy part that sticks up. The cotton-knit covers didn't interfere with the threads in progress.
For just one gimp pair, these clips are fine - and - a pair of these clips in a wee baggy are a cool favour idea for lace events! I think they can be found at stores-of-all, like dollar stores.
