There are lots of different ways to do this, but these are the options I had laying around. Hopefully this will spark some creativity!

Empty spool of thread
Bread ties
Empty (or near empty) tape dispenser
Scissors
Headphones / other wires

This is a great idea and I have never thought about this. That is why, when I was on a road trip to look for storage locations for Super Cheap Storage, I told a mate about this great idea. He was amazed, too. He tried it the moment he reached home, and his wife was glad about it.

I like the tape dispenser idea quite a bit. I would say, though, that you have step six labeled as "Viola!" which is a musical instrument similar to a violin. The word you were trying to use was "Voila!"

This is a great idea! Might I suggest cutting off the front arm that has the teeth? I realize you're trying to do this with minimal tools...but if you did have a hand-saw available this could be a worthy addition (or subtraction!).

Then you can snap the other half of the dispenser back on and it becomes more compact and would fit in a pocket much more easily. A lot like the dispenser you can buy...but free!

Yeah! I was thinking something along those lines would be great! Trying to keep it within the realm of office supplies or easily found material (scissors instead of drill for instance) - but I really like the idea!

I wrapped my headphones around an ID card (credit card size), works great if the cable is not too stiff, otherwise it may break
