I’m not sure about your house, but around our place we have a ba-zillion chargers for all things Apple. Two iPhones, my old iPhone that Kaleb uses for apps and music, Chris’ iPod and an iTouch (passed down from a friend) … we are constantly shuffling around cords and chargers! Needless to say, ”Guys! Who has my charger?!” is a frequently used phrase in the Bassett household. Until now … behold: organize your iPhone chargers with washi tape!
Though they are pretty much interchangeable, the boys are a little rougher on things than I, so I wanted a way to keep all of our chargers organized and easy to find. So, I had a flash of brilliance (I do have them every now and again, ha ha!), let the boys pick out their favorite washi tape patterns and got to taping!! I wrapped washi tape around all three parts of the charger and used a small piece of clear scotch tape to cover the ends of the washi tape – especially since we’ll be handling them often.
Now, it is easy to track down whose plug goes with which charger cord and what device! And I totally love my red and white polka dot charger!!
So cute! I’m pretty sure they don’t sell washi tape in Canada. For real. I’ve never seen it in craft stores or anything. I would probably buy some if I saw it just in case I had a little flash of brilliance too, but alas, I’m still tape-less. Your chargers look amazing!
we could use patterned duct tape in canada
Hello, there! I don’t know about anywhere else but I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Canada and we now sell washi tape in the new catalogue that just came out this month. I’d love to help you out, if you would like some. You can check out my blog too for some ideas using other product. Click the link in my profile to my blog, and you’ll be able to access my Stampin’ Up! page there, if you wish.
Oh how cute, thanks Keri!
Cute idea to personalize everyones charger!!! I have so many rolls of washi and I’m always looking for more ideas to use it!!!
Very clever, I am always grabbing the wrong cord!
Oh! You smart thing you! I am so doing this…I just bought a big bunch of washi tape from PYP the other day!
Great idea.. Might have to do with our android.stuff.
Such a cute idea!
This is really cute! It will also help me not to lose mine.

I’d love for you to share these with my readers at my link party this weekend! They are just too cute! Hope to see you there!
Brilliant! We have 4 iphones in our house, a mac and a ipad in our house and there is always a fight over whose charger is whose! Love it! Have a lovely weekend! Angie xo
Very cute and a great idea! My kids keep stealing mine!
I beyond love this! I just picked up my first set of washi tape – with no idea what on earth I needed it for. Um, this, clearly I needed it for this!
Oh my!! I am so doing this…..we always either loose the chargers and don’t know who’s is who’s…..LOL

Love this idea – my college kids manage to leave a cord or two behind each time they come home. This way I’ll know whose it is right away! Love the idea. Thanks for linking up last week at Finding the Pretty & Delicious! Hope you’ll come back this week.

Very good idea! I love simple solutions like this that don’t take a ton of time but add a touch of creativity!! Great job!
ADORABLE! Thanks for sharing. Visiting you from Craft o Maniac Monday. http://www.thememoryenst.blogspot.com
Keri, this is my favorite kind of idea, clever, easy and adorable! Just did it for my kids’ chargers! Thanks for the idea. (visiting from i should be mopping the floor)
This is so brilliant. We have 3 iPods, 2 iPads, and 1 iPhone in our house, and we are always arguing whose cord is whose. This would cut down on our disagreements!
This is such a pretty and fun idea! Thanks for sharing it at the Monday Funday party!

Great Idea! I am going to wrap my smart phone charger with pink tape. ;o)
Yep, I need to do this for sure. Now to find some washi tape….
Um, this is perfect. I’m always mixing up mine with my husband’s (and he mixes up his with mine). Genius!! I want to do this asap. They had some washi tape on Very Jane this morning – I might have to go back and buy it if the deal is still around.
Cute idea! I will try, for sure!
