Nobody knows where they come from. You buy one. A year later, you have seven.
One fits a phone from two generations ago. Another probably belongs to a camera you no longer own. The third has a connector humanity appears to have stopped using sometime around 2014.
Throwing them away feels wrong. Labelling them feels like too much commitment. So they all live together, quietly working on the largest knot in Central Europe.
We decided to put a stop to it.
An old delivery box becomes a DIY cardboard cable storage box. It looks considerably more serious than its contents and, most importantly, keeps them all in one place.
First, find the cable. Then we’ll work out what it’s for.
How much room do your cables need — 10 cm or 17 cm high? Pick your size, click the smaller or larger icon, download the template and print it. Here you’ll find instructions for transferring the template onto cardboard.
The DIY cardboard cable storage box is done. The cables have a home, the knot has lost its headquarters, and civilisation can continue. If your cardboard still feels underemployed, have a look at our other DIY tutorials – we’ve got plenty more jobs waiting for it.
