Hide Unsightly Cords Around The House With A Simple & Stylish Boho DIY

Charging cords can stick out like a sore thumb around your house. Luckily, there is an easy way to make your cords blend in with your decor, especially if you love a bohemian look. You can make your chargers look more stylish with this boho DIY by tying half square knots down the length of the charger. All you need is your charger and some macramé cord, which you could purchase on Amazon. For instance, you could buy the Noanta Natural Macrame Cord for $5.

This project is easy to make and customize. Macramé comes in a variety of different colors, so get creative by making a colorful pattern. Or, if you have trouble keeping track of which charging cord is yours, you can choose a different color for each person in your house. This project would also make a fun gift for a friend or family member. And when you're done with this DIY, you can also tidy up your charging station with a Dollar Tree hack.

Furthermore, if you love the look of your new charger and have some leftover macramé cord, try out some other matching projects. There are so many ways to incorporate macramé in your home. Completing these other DIYs and placing them around your home will really make your new charger feel like it matches your bohemian vibe.

Start this project taping the end of your charger to a table, which will help keep it steady. Then, take a macramé cord that is nine times the length of your charger. Fold the cord in half and tie it around the charger. After that, you will create half square knots down the length of the charger. To tie the half square knot, create the shape of the number four with one macramé cord by crossing one of the cords across the center, over the charger and under the other macramé cord. Next, take the other cord and pull it underneath the charging cord and through the number four-looking loop. Pull the two macramé cords to tighten the knot. Continue this pattern until you reach the bottom of the charger. You can then tie the project off with a square knot or tie another 20 inch macramé cord around the end of the charger to finish it.

However, one important note about this project is that you should not use damaged chargers for this project. A charging cord that is frayed or damaged can be a fire hazard, and this hazard is only increased by tying the macramé cord over it. Throw your phone charger away immediately if you notice these signs, and make sure that you use a new or gently used charger for this project. Also know that even new chargers still have the potential to overheat and cause a fire if wrapped in macramé. Only use the charger when you're in the room and regularly check for any fraying.
