Easy Hack For Organizing Charging Cords

August 10, 2020 · In: DIY Projects, Organize

Learn how to label and organize your charging cords using basic office supplies you already have on hand at home.

Cords are SO messy, huh? Nothing looks more cluttered than a wad of charging cords piled on the counter or stuffed in the corner of your desk drawer. Don’t think you need to spend money on expensive cord organizers, because you can DIY your own for zero dollars and zero cents using some supplies you’ve already got in your junk drawer.

DIY Charging Cord Labels With Binder Clips

What You Need:

  • Large and Extra Large Binder Clips
  • Washi tape
  • Scissors
  • Fine Point Pen or Sharpie Pen

How Long Will It Take?

Approximately 1 minute per label. Basically faster than you could even find cord labels on Amazon and read one single review.

How To Make Binder Clip Charging Cord Organizers

  1. Roll cord into a circle, then grip the circle together in the middle to bunch it up.
  2. Clasp the middle of the cord bunch with a binder clip of appropriate size.
  3. Pull off enough washi tape to fit on the flat part of the binder clip.
  4. Write your cord label text on the washi tape.
  5. Stick tape on the flat part of the binder clip.
  6. Repeat for the rest.

Where To Store Your Bound Cords?

I like to keep mine in this little craft container I got from Target, and the top half holds our batteries. You can store them anywhere now that they’re all bound together in clips and won’t make a huge mess.

Some good storage places are in a divided section of your junk drawer, desk drawer, or nightstand. Or a basket in your family room would also be ideal.

5 Things You Never Knew About Me: 1. When Nigel a 5 Things You Never Knew About Me:
1. When Nigel and I started dating, I had a pet tarantula and a ball python, and both were in my small apartment bedroom next to my bed.
2. I started my blog in 2014 under the name In The New House. It didn’t change to Organized-ish until 2018.
3. I didn’t plan on becoming a professional organizer at all. A blog reader reached out and asked for help and people just kept asking after that.
4. I was chosen to share a holiday craft idea with @marthastewart on SiriusXM radio and she sent me a gorgeous wreath as a thank you.
5. I have a large collection of crystals and you can find at least one in almost every room photo I share here and on the blog. It’s like a never ending Easter Egg hunt. 😁
