I’m sure everyone has the following problem. Too many phone chargers and other wires that get all tangled up! And so today I will show you how I untangled my wires by upcycling cardboard cereal boxes!
I solved this problem by using some left over cereal boxes.
I measured the height that I wanted and I cut the top off .
I cut the sides and folded them in.
I did this with three boxes and then stapled them together.
I glued on some pretty fabric that I had using regular white glue. I glued it all around…
I then took a cardboard and cut it into 3 pieces, making sure the width was less then the height of the cereal boxes. Each cardboard piece was perforated into 3 sections.
This would help me to bend them into squares.
I was then able to insert each of the squares into one of the cereal boxes.
And this is the end result. A pretty organizer for the phone charger and other miscellaneous wires.
As you can see this project cost next to nothing to make. It was an easy solution to a very annoying organization problem. I save so much time now that I don’t have to untangle wires. Hope this inspires you to try it.
