DIY: Cord station

Everyone has it. That big, unruly tangle of chargers and cords and headphones that never finds a proper home. It's almost impossible to organize a tangled clump of electronics. I came up with this simple project and completed it within a few hours- problem solved.

                    

What you need

• Thin wood (found near 2x4s and such, I think labeled as craft wood)
• Screw gun and a screw
• Small nails
• Vinyl decals (I made my own with my scrapbook craft cutter, but you could find them online or draw/paint something onto the wood)

What you do:

• Coil all of the cords you want to organize and lay them along the wood. Mark with a pencil where the nails are going to go
• Put your decals on the wood, about an inch below each nail spot (so that they center within the cord loop)
• Gently hammer in the nails at an upward facing angle (so they hold the cords)
• Find a stud, and screw it into the wall at the top (I got the screw started on a flat surface and then held it against the wall)
  
  
  
  And that's it! A easy, quick, and functional DIY project. 
  
  
  Enjoy today,
