Incredibly simple and cheap AND solves the problem. I would want to make sure people understand that only one end piece needs to be added to a spool. That way, thread can still feed off the other end of the spool without catching on a corner. Plus, the spool needs to spin freely when it is being used on a sewing machine, so the end piece shouldn't be very big.
