Homemade Hide-the-Powercords Box

I couldn't find my digital camera the other day - looked everywhere. Finally, when I did find it, the battery was dead. I decided right there to put together something that would keep all my electronics together and powered. I did some digging on the Internet and found some at the store for $50+ but I'd much rather make something. It's going in my home office so I'm not out to impress anyone.

I didn't feel like taking the time to cut out wood, so I went to The Container Store and found a set of rigid black foam containers for jewelry ($19.00). Each package had 1 long box, 1 medium box, and 1 small box. I bought two. I already had the power strip and velcro.

Only other thing I used was Exacto knives and glue gun.

Step 1: Cut out a bottom in one bin

Save the bottom of the cut bin - it may come in handy. I used it to glue to the front of my box (just along the lower 1-2" of the bottom) for appearances - it covered the hot glue that came out through the gaps.
