Free Cord Organizer for the Junk Drawer

Here is a quick and simple organizing idea for your junk drawer using recycled toilet paper tubes. 
Cord Organizer for the Junk Drawer

Does your charger drawer look like mine? 


If it does then this is a free and easy project just for you! 


Junk Drawer

Try this...


Cut a cardboard toilet paper tube in 1/2. 

Next, wrap it in pretty paper or burlap, use clothespins to secure until the glue dries.


You might want to use full size tubes for longer cords.


decorative tp rolls

And that's all there is to it! 


The colors and designs are up to you!


Easy DIY Cord Organizer


Instantly a neater junk drawer!

    Awesome idea! My cords do look like that, LOL. This is a project that I could have my 10 yr old help me with, to keep him occupied. Thanks for sharing!

    That's a great idea. I just organized a bunch of them and put them in plastic bags. I'll try this next time.

    This is a quick and easy project! I love it! I literally have BOXES of cords that I would like to do this with. I wonder how fast I can go through rolls of toilet paper? ;)
