If you’re a pack rat like me, you probably have a ton of cables lying around. After all, everyone knows that the moment you get rid of something, you’ll find a use for it. The trouble with keeping a bunch of cables is that organizing them can be a pain. I personally have a set of drawers that keeps them separated well enough to keep me happy. If you’re looking for a way to keep them separated without needing to spend any extra cash, the perfect solution might be sitting in your bathroom or kitchen right now.

I’m talking, of course, about toilet paper or paper towel rolls. There are a million and one uses for these things, one of which is to keep your cables tidy. A very simple Instrucatables guide tells you how to convert those old rolls into the perfect organizational tool. The best part is that not only is this free, but you’re also helping the environment by recycling.
