DIY Cord Organization

Is cord clutter a challenge for you? As we were organizing Steph’s master bathroom, one of the most challenging areas was the drawer full of all the hair tools. It was almost overflowing with curling irons, flat irons, hair dryer and brushes. We needed a solution to tackle all of those tangled cords. While there are products you can purchase (hook and loop cable ties) to help tame cord clutter, we decided to just use what we had and create our own DIY Cord Organization, rather than trying to find them at the store.

Our solution was to create a cable tie that we would attach to each hair tool and keep them all neat and tidy.😀

We already had the hook and loop tape (Velcro) on hand.  Begin by cutting a piece of the hook and loop about 3 1/2″ to 4″ long.
