Living Simply: New Use for Toilet Paper Rolls

You know those long cords attached to your hair dryer, curling iron, and other small appliances?  What do you do with them?  Wrap them around the appliance and hope they stay put? 

There's a better way!!!

TOILET PAPER ROLLS.

It's such a simple idea but one that escaped me until I read about it on this post from iheartorganizing.com.  

You just take the toilet paper roll, cleaning off any remaining toilet paper:

Gather your cords together so that they make a thick, long bundle and stuff them in.  Voila!

I glued some wrapping paper to the outside to make it prettier.  Now, every time I pull out my blow dryer I smile.  I love that it's an easy, costless fix that also re-purposed something rather than just recycling it.

What little organizing tips have you discovered that make life easier?
