Organize Small Cords with Toilet Paper Rolls

In today’s high-tech homes, keeping track of small cords can be challenging. Almost every electronic device has a cord that goes with it: cameras, smartphones, computers and the list goes on. Rather than tossing them in various drawers throughout your house, where they can get tangled or forgotten, try this simple and inexpensive solution.

Find a small box (a shoe box works perfectly) and fill it with as many empty toilet paper rolls that will fit vertically. Then place a single cord in each toilet paper roll. Next time you need one of your small cords, you’ll know where to find it, and it’ll be free of tangles!

Check out these 33 brilliant home hacks using our 3 favorite items: hangers, toilet paper rolls and rubber bands.

Plastic Fruit Boxes

If you purchase berries or small tomatoes at the grocery store, you likely have those plastic clamshells in your recycle bin. Wash them out and use them to store sewing or craft supplies, homegrown produce from your garden or use them as a sandwich container in your lunchbox.
