Wine Cork Cord Ties
by

Keeping my unruly extension cords contained was always a problem. I used to bundle them up and secure them with zip ties, but that required me to cutt them off and use a new zip tie every time.
I wanted a 1) cheap 2) easy and 3) re-usable option that wouldn't damage the extension cords.
Using bungee cord and synthetic wine corks I was able to create these cord ties. You could use longer bungees to tie up things like garden hoses as well. And they are super easy to make!

All the supplies you need, bungee cording (I just cut down inexpensive dollar store bungie cords) and rubber "corks".

To bind up stray cords, I use velcro strapping (the kind with hooks on one side, loops on the other). Not necessarily cheap, but certainly strong & reuseable plus one can cut off the exact length needed.

Bungee chord is ok, but I would choose the large girls headband elastics from the dollar store, you get 8 of them for a dollar. Cut them in half and you have two.
