Improvisation is a good idea, and the cardboard box idea is a good one. I've never made or bought a bobbin tree, but have a tall plastic tupperware jug which I use when I need something to hold bobbins. It is straightsided and fairly stable, and can be covered with a cover cloth. One of the bobbins sits inside, it's pair on the outside. Having a handle also makes it easy to carry!
