Some years ago I visited my parents and as I was to use my mothers hand-held mixer I noticed this smart solution..... where she's got it from I don't know, but as I always have had problems with the cord of my mixer, it curled up and I was afraid it some day would break, I hurried to "steal" the idea.
I have used the empty toilet rolls as they were, but today I just decided to pimp one up for my sewing machine cord:
okay.... I added some tinfoil to the cord of the coffee maker:
But for my sewing machine I just made something nicer to look at. I did like this:
You need this: an empty toilet roll, some fabric (or paper) perhaps some decor and glue.
I used that sort of glue you also use for decoupage, a combination of glue and varnish.
Cut the fabric to fit around the roll and leave ½ an extra inch at both ends to make a nice finish.
Glue and rolls on the fabric as you go, until the ends meet. Put some glue inside both ends and turn the fabric inside. (you can glue on the fabric too, to make it stick nicely inside)
I had some self-adhesive strawberries to put on and now the cords to my sewing machine will not curl up.
Enjoy, it doesn't take long to make.......
