Check stores for display boxes with pegs in them.I have them all over my house in all shapes & sizes.I love them.If I don't like the advertising on them I cover it with contact paper & I Always put duct tape on the parts where the boxes are put together & over the ends of the pegs in the back.Some even have hanging thingies & if not it is easy to improvise.
I check the carts where the empty boxes are being removed.The Absolute best time for this is right before & right after Christmas.After Easter & Valentines are good times too
All sorts of supplies & little gifts are hanging in these boxes.Now close to a dozen,if not more are in my house.I got my first set over 30 years ago.It was a makeup display with a set of hooks down each side.I cut off these sides,duct taped over the back of the hooks,covered the pieces of heavy cardboard with red & white checked contact paper,punched a hanging hole in the top & they've held necklaces ever since.

I did something similar a long time ago using a bulletin board I already had and for the "pegs" I used large nails with little heads (finishing nails, 2 1/2-3 " long". ) The nails work fine and are actually long enough for the bobbin and spool to hang on the same nail. Put the nails into the board on a slant upwards so they don't fall off.

There are "L" shaped hooks for pegboard that will hold a small spool and a bobbin.
