Quickly and from scrap materials.

Let’s not argue about the benefits of order and trust the wisdom and experience of people of different eras and generations:

It is necessary to restore order while there is still no turmoil. - Lao Tzu

Order saves time. – Johann Goethe

Order frees thought. – S.P. Korolev

It is impossible to put everything in order, let's start with ourselves. Many of us spend most of the day at our desk with a bunch of necessary and unnecessary junk. We are literally entangled in wires, chargers, adapters and other electronics. Why not organize it all?

To solve the problem, I suggest making a simple organizer. Each of the available means can do it. You may have to buy something extra, but spending a penny is not comparable to the benefits that our product will bring.

What do we need

  • base for the organizer (any flat object of suitable size);
  • elastic band for clothes (we will calculate the length below);
  • threads, needle, scissors, tape (optional);
  • up to an hour.

The basis

1. First you need to decide on the size of the future organizer. I recommend making it so that it fits easily in a drawer or on a specific shelf.

We are looking for a place for the future organizer, measuring the length and width of the space.

2. Now we need a base that will fit in the allotted space without any problems. As a frame, you can use a board, a very thick piece of cardboard, chipboard/kragis/plywood. A metal plate or plexiglass will do; you can use a DVD box or an old vinyl record (cutting a square out of it) as a base.

There is only one condition for the base - it must ensure the rigidity of the structure and not bend. For example, I found a suitable piece of galvanized steel in the pantry.

3. To make the finished product look beautiful, I covered it with black tape (to match the color of the rubber bands used). Those who do not strive for aesthetic appearance organizer may skip this step.

Rubber


4. More likely, required quantity If you don’t have an elastic band at home, you’ll have to go to a fabric store to get it. There you can choose a ribbon of any color and width.

  • divide the length of the base by the width of the tape - we get the number of vertical stripes (we take into account only whole stripes);
  • multiply the number of stripes by the width of the base and multiply the resulting length by two (the stripes will encircle the frame on both sides);
  • Now we similarly divide the width of the base by the width of the tape - we get the number of horizontal stripes (we take into account only whole stripes);
  • multiply the number of stripes by the length of the base and multiply the resulting length by two (the stripes will encircle the frame on both sides);
  • we add the two numbers that were obtained in the second and fourth steps and get the required length of the tape.

5. Now the elastic band needs to be cut into strips (vertical and horizontal). We have already counted the number of stripes, the length of the vertical ones is equal to twice the width of the base, and the length of the horizontal ones is twice the length of the base. In other words, each strip should encircle the frame without overlapping.

6. The most painstaking process is sewing rings from strips. Pre-singe the edges of the tape on the fire and you can start making rings.

We make a small overlap of 3-4 mm. and sew the ribbon together with a ring. You can ask your wife for help, especially if she has the skills to operate a sewing machine.

Weaving


7. When all the elastic rings are ready, we begin to put them on the base. First we put on all the vertical stripes.

8. Now we begin to put on the horizontal ones one by one. They need to not just be put on top, but threaded through one vertical one.


Each subsequent strip is threaded in a checkerboard pattern.


9. The result is a beautiful checkered organizer.

Fill in

This product can be filled with any small items stored in the table. Place wires, adapters, batteries, memory cards and flash drives, chargers and headphones in the organizer.


All the elastic bands stay in place quite confidently, but you can additionally stitch them around the perimeter. This process is quite painstaking; I would not recommend starting it right away.


While the elastic bands are not sewn on, you can try to change the shape of the organizer so that not only small objects, but also large ones fit into it.


To do this, in a certain place when weaving the elastic, we skip the required number of intersecting rings. The size of such loops is determined by the dimensions of the device that we will carry in the organizer.


A few days later, when the final weaving pattern has been approved, you can sew elastic bands around the perimeter or glue them with Moment glue. If the organizer will not be used in the most active way, you do not need to stitch or glue the elastic bands.

Bonus

Our organizer can be stored not only in a desk drawer, it will perfectly cope with its functions on the road or travel. Determine the size of the product in advance so that it can then be placed in a bag or backpack.

A simple and elegant way to organize a place to charge a smartphone is with a rail and a hanging shelf-basket. It will not be difficult to repeat such a solution in your own home, while the costs will be minimal, and the result will definitely please you.

2 In a drawer

A slightly more labor-intensive option, which, however, allows you to completely hide all charges and wires from view, is a station for gadgets in a drawer ( desk, chest of drawers or kitchen set).

If you have quite a lot of different electrical appliances that require recharging, choose a larger drawer. A very elegant, and most importantly, practical solution to the problem of wires, isn’t it?

3 On the shelf

Those who like to place their phone to charge at night - and certainly next to their bed! - another neat solution will please you: a bedside mini-shelf with a connector for connecting gadgets. Such a shelf clings to the side of the bed and provides an opportunity (say, a remote control for a TV or air conditioner).

However, you can also choose a very compact option, like this mini-shelf, which is mounted directly on the wall next to the outlet.

We begin work by cutting out two pieces from two types of fabrics, each measuring 23x15 cm. We sew them facing each other while simultaneously sewing a zipper between them.

For density, you can add a few more layers inside, as well as a layer of padding polyester or felt. We sew all the layers together, adding elastic bands for the wires.

Sew on the fastener



Ready organizer

And this is how our organizer turned out. It allows easy access at home and takes up little space in your bag. And nothing will get confused.

Hello everyone! Often, when trying to organize our home, we forget about details, both very important and not conspicuous. First of all, we start thinking about storing clothes, kitchen utensils, books or cosmetics. But the wires from chargers, adapters, and headphones continue to be in disarray. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to give you an idea that will help you choose the best cord storage method for you.

How to organize wire storage: the best ideas

It's very simple, I tell you. You can create some of their organizers with your own hands, or you can not work hard, but just go to the store and buy them at very low prices. By the way, I saw a lot of similar things on Aliexpress, this is just a godsend for housewives.

If you constantly lose your phone headphones or camera charger, then immediately start reading the post. And then create a place that will become a permanent refuge for them.


Toilet paper rolls. An unexpected decision, right? A cheap and very easy way to collect wires, twist them and put them inside. By the way, you can store them not only in a basket, but also in a drawer, like an organizer. If you don't want to wait until it ends toilet paper, you can buy cardboard and make such bushings yourself. To make them look decent, decorate them with decorative tape or cover them with paper.


Boxes. The second and very simple way to eliminate clutter is to make storage out of boxes. The photo above shows the most best option, when the inside of the box itself is divided by partitions, each cell is beautifully decorated and signed. Now you will never get confused in wires, chargers and headphones. And never throw away shoe boxes!

If you don’t have hands with hooks, you know how to sew and have a desire to create something, then this option is for you. A simple organizer made of fabric for storing wires with elastic bands can not only be twisted, but also hung on a hook, for example, under a table.


Well, for those who are not familiar with sewing, a ready-made organizer bag is suitable. This is a great way to collect and neatly organize chargers, cords and other accessories for equipment. In addition, it is very convenient to take with you.

In one of the articles I wrote about how to use . So, I really liked the idea of ​​putting cords there. Agree, a very convenient option.




There should be order both on the table and under it. It is not only beautiful, but also safe. Chaotically scattered and disorganized wires create a fire hazard. Therefore, take this issue seriously.

The best way, in my opinion, to connect the wires together is to use Velcro or office clips. And adapters and power supplies in special containers that you can buy or make from a shoe box.

A special solution has been invented for headphones - cut out a rectangle from thick paper, make two longitudinal cuts on top, and cut out circles at the end. Insert the speakers themselves into them, and wrap the rest of the wire around the workpiece. Now you won't have to constantly untangle knots.


Sockets on the walls often also accumulate various kinds of wires and charges. Organizing them is quite easy. There are special devices that are attached together with charger or wires next to it and are safely used without creating a feeling of clutter.

This is how I suggest you organize the storage of wires in your home. Share your ways! See you again!
