I'm looking for a new way to store mine and I thought this would be the perfect place to get inspiration. Please, share with me how you store your bracelets!

I'm actually almost finished organizing my strings. I bought three nuts-and-bolts containers from Home Depot for $4 and I use those. I bought bobbins at AC Moore, so I wind the skeins onto the bobbins, then put them in the case. Color coded of course hahaha. Hope this helps!

I put my skeins of string in color-coded ziploc bags in one big box. Pre-cut string is in a ziploc bag that I take with me most places. Finished bracelets are in one of those clear plastic drawer sets, where I store a lot of my stuff. It's worked for me!

My strings get put in a bag. And I put my finished bracelets in a little pouch.

I have a big bag full of all my strings.
I have a smallish bag full of the bracelets i don't wear.
I made a box for the bracelets I do wear.
Also I have beads and buttons organized into different take away containers.
everything is stored under my bead so it takes up so room.

I actually display mine in my room. I use a curtain rod and hang it using string and tie my bracelets on there.

I have a binder I use that I keep patterns in and the bracelets I am working on to in the sleeve with the correct pattern. When I'm finished, I either leave them with the pattern or put them in a bag at the back of my binder.

I separate my bracelets into three different types: already listed on my Etsy shop, ready to be photographed, and ones that I've kept for myself. Previously i stored the first two categories in sturdy, clear ziploc bags because i could easily tell at a glance what was in each bag. I'm trying to reorganize everything now though. I'm not really into bobbins, because i don't want to take the time to wind the floss around each one, but I may have to start doing that. My finished bracelets that i wear are in an open box so I can easily paw through and find the one I'm looking for.

I keep my string in a makeup box that's huge along with rainbow loom stuff. I don't have many friendship bracelets so I wear em all

I got a box from micheals that was $2.49 and came with 50 free bobbins. Then sring that comes in packages or 39 cents each if you buying seperate ones. Also if your selling them, you could cut slits into a index card, write your name and price and put the bracelet there. It's good and presentable if your looking to sell or not.

Some cool ideas I found on pinterest:
STRING:
Wrap the string around clothespins and then pin the loose end to keep it from unraveling.
Wrap the string around small pieces of cardboard then pack them up side-by-side in a sectioned container.
Sandwich bag closures to be decorated with washi tape and wrap the string around them.
Drawers.

BRACELETS:
Treasure chest or jewelry box.
Bowls/baskets.
Hang them on pegs or a pole.
Drawers.
Mason Jars.

Or just search on pinterest yourself--I came up with some of them, too.

I keep my string in a basket. Inside, there's one tiny basket for my colour coded long strings and one tiny basket for my 'scrap' strings, multicoloured strings, and black and white strings which I lay side by side at the top. And then I have a jar of my WIPS, and a jar for my beads and buttons under that. And underneath everything are my patterns and notes. I keep my bracelets in this see through plastic tray but I wanna store it in another way.
