I take empty toilet paper rolls and cover them with wall paper samples to make "covers" for the cords on our small appliances. If you go to the wall paper stores and ask if they have outdated wall paper sample books, they most likely will give you a few, for free.

ok however I would take the paper off a new roll
and do this, not a roll used in bathroom.

Do not leave the paper covers on the cord while an appliance is being used. Coiled cords heat up and the paper could act as an insulator holding the heat in and causing a fire. It is a wonderful idea though for storing cords. Be Safe.

That's a great idea. I would've never guessed that it was a toilet paper roll! Great job recycling also!

That is a terrific idea!!! And also a great crafting projects for kids and their bedrooms (all their electronics). I hate cords being seen, but if they were decorated with paint, buttons, whatever decore, it wouldnt be such an eye sore. Thanks for giving me an extended idea for a long time problem. Saffy

I use toilet paper rolls to slide in electrical cords so they aren't messy in my junk drawer. Everyone has a junk drawer so why not make it a tidy drawer!

I also write the length of the extension cord on the roll.
