Description

I had a drawer full of cables that were all over the place and I didn't want to mess with twisty ties or tape. So I found this easy way!

Instructions

  1. Small 103850 2f2014 08 09 085714 dsc05628

    unfold the paperclip into a L shape.

  2. Small 103850 2f2014 08 09 085756 dsc05630

    take one end and fold it up at a 90 degree angle

  3. Small 103850 2f2014 08 09 085903 dsc05626

    gather your wires. I like to use a back and forth motion so that there are loops at both ends

  4. Small 103850 2f2014 08 09 090031 dsc05632

    place the center of the wires into the crook of the 90 degree angle you created when you bent one end up. then bend that end over the wires

  5. Small 103850 2f2014 08 09 090059 dsc05633

    bend the other end up into a 90 degree angle

  6. Small 103850 2f2014 08 09 090213 dsc05634

    then fold the paperclip around the wires.

  7. Small 103850 2f2014 08 09 090230 dsc05636

    finally bending that last segment toward the wires
