Pretty Cord Organization With Duck Tape

I know most of us have seen this done before but I think it's such a great idea!!  

Us girls usually have at least 1 or 2 or MORE, corded items in the bathroom, whether it's curling iron, flat irons, hairdryer or all of the above. 

So do I, and I HATED the cord mess. 

I hated wrapping the cord around my curling iron so much that it's now in a permanent spiral. The tangled mess that you couldn't just pull out one item at a time. They all came pouring out of my cabinet in a big mess.  Not a very fun way to spend the morning or while trying to get ready for a night on the town.  

I knew what needed to be done, the cute toilet paper rolls to the rescue. The only hard thing was to decide on a Duck Tape pattern that I loved (and could find). Seems like all the patterns that I've seen this done with before were no where to be found, so I put the project off. Until my latest trip to Hobby Lobby, I found this super cute happy floral print. It's more of an aqua color, which I LOVE, it's one of their newest prints called "Blue Surf". 

So I saved a few empty toilet rolls, cut them down about an inch so that I could get full coverage with just two wraps of my Duck Band Tape. The tape is thick enough that the brown roll doesn't really show through the white parts of the tape. I was a little worried about that, but it really looks great. 

This is really one of the fastest and easiest projects around. 

Almost Instant Gratification!!

I love that I was not only able to put the cords inside the roll, but the appliance too! With the cord and the appliance inside, it is a little snug but the Duck Tape gives the roll enough reinforcement that it won't come apart.  I LOVE how easy it is to pick up just the item that I want, not a big tangled mess. 

 This is such a great problem solver and would be helpful while traveling with these items too. 

I am currently thinking that all the cords in my house need one of these!!  Everything from lamps, computer/TV components and all my small kitchen appliances.

Not only did I get a roll of super cute Duck Tape but the kids each got one too! I can't wait to see what kind of cool uses we come up with for our new Duck Tape.
