Cheap / or Easy Ways to Make Cord, Cable, Headphone Organizer, Holder
Diy or hack home items
Cord, cable, headphone organizer, holder.
I really really hate having my phone bud and cables get all tangled, snagged etc. I also want easy access and don't want to pay like 6$ of more because that is just absurd.
I priced and searched for ideas that were economical and rugged enough to take on being in my purse or workbench.
This is my findings.
Hunt for Materials - I Found Rollers Work GREAT
I tried cutting things from various materials but settled on rollers because they were meant for repetitive use and also meant to hold something as long as a cable without damaging it. Although the foam dollar store generic rollers with the plastic clasps work well and are probably the best for price , my favorite so far is a silicone coated one piece roller made by Remington.
Start Wrapping Cables or Cord
Wrap cables or cord around the base of the roller. This is where someone would usually wrap thier hair.
Pick Your Length
Wrap the cable completely around or leave enough length that is expedient to your using habits. For example, (as pictured here) I use my headphones a lot but want the extra length to be out of my way.
Or Wrap Completely
Or wrap completely
Then Wrap Up Completely
Then wrap up completely by folding over. I like this because I can still have my cords wrapped when I am using it and it doesn't take allot of f
Room.
As far as price goes, I got these second hand brand new for 5$ for the whole set (I want to about 18 pieces) however, in the manual I noticed that you can buy replacements for cheap. I know that Remington is an old company so they would probably offer orders in replacements for many years to come even after the product is not on shelves.
