Why waste your time untangling messy cords and cables when you can keep them neat and organised at all times? Here's a simple way to do so.

How:
1. Arrange a few toilet paper tubes in an upright position in an empty container, such as a shoe box.

2. Coil the cables and slot each one into a tube (pictured).

3. Stick labels on the side of the tubes to help you remember what each cable is for.

Tips:

– Kitchen paper towel tubes may be a better fit for longer cables, or you can cut the tubes into half.

– We admit, the toilet paper cubes aren't exactly the prettiest looking organisers. Use patterned washi tapes to decorate these tubes, or spray paint them in different colours!
