I love clever little tips like this, thank you to one of our readers Fiona for sending in this tip to use bread tags to label your power cords to easily distinguish cords, as we all know they can become a tangled mess. Clever way of repurposing!

That’s a seriously simple idea that makes complete sense! I am always pulling out the wrong cord…must remember to save those bread ties! Tfs Katrina.
It is such a great idea, love finding these J
Whoo Hoo, that’s a gold nugget. I spent time under our bed yesterday trying to organise the power cords. I even found one for our old cordless phone that was not even connected to anything.
I absolutely love this idea. So simple!
It’s sometimes these simple ideas that are so handy to know J
I have a basket full of bread ties in my kitchen, plus 101 powercords. Super cool way to make my life a little easier
There you go, now you can use them J
THats fantastic idea
Brilliant idea.
I will have to come with something else – I bake our own bread and don’t have bread-tags. But simply the idea of naming the cords! Wow!
A great idea, so simple!
Please if you have you g children crawling that power cords are unavailable for then to access because at our clinic we have a few children come in from bread ties being a choking hazard.
We write on plugs in multi board so it’s easy to know which one to pull out. Write on white ones with permanent marker and black ones with correction fluid. Saves pulling out the incorrect machine.
