~ Tammy's Tip Today ~ Cord Control


Doesn't it just drive you mad trying to keep all the cords for phone chargers, and other items with cords, tied up and out of the way when not in use?  Or especially if you need to pack them for travel too.  I found an easy fix that helps me with that!  I use elastic/hair bands!  I add them to everything now, phone charger cords (of course) and also hair dryer cords, curling iron cords and more!  They are always on the ready for controlling those cords!  These elastic/hair bands are inexpensive and available everywhere, and you can often find them in different colors.



This is cord control!



Attach the elastic bands to the cords:
Loop an elastic band around the cord and
pull it through other side loop.  Pull tight to
firmly attach it to the cord!








The elastic band stays attached
to the cord!


Coil up the cord.


Pull band over and twist around then pull over again until firmly 
securing the cord.  (Just like you would to secure a ponytail 
or bundle) 




Controlled cords!



This is cord control, all neatly out of the way! 
                                   

This is Not!




- These were $2.25
for a pack of 15 -


It's the simple things in life that often make one smile!


(Cord)ially yours...
