Today I have a super quick little tutorial for you. The end product isn’t the biggest, most exciting thing you have ever seen, but sometimes these little hacks are the best tricks!
If you are anything like me, you probably have a bunch of extension cords lying around your house or garage. Maybe they are neatly wrapped up neatly hanging on a hook, or maybe they are thrown in a box, or maybe you are even organized enough to keep them neat by tying them up with zip ties (which is actually what I have always done when I am planning to store them long term.)
But what I didn’t like about the Zip Tie method is that you need to cut off the tie to remove it, they aren’t reusable.
Then one day I was reading my subscription to
Family Handyman (hey, some girls like Vogue, I like FH!) and I saw a reader had submitted this cork cord tie in the ‘hacks and tricks’ column. I was immediately intrigued. So I ran out and bought all the supplies to make my own.
