Super simple cable tie made from velcro and two staples. Pretty lame but very useful.

Step 1: Get Yer stuff

All you need is velcro (3/4" works best), scissors and a stapler. Mine's a red Swingline.

Or you can buy them already made at just about any hardware store. I think I paid under $5 for 50 in two different colors at Lowe's.

thanks for the link--not a bad deal at all. I'm used to the prices at music stores, which range from crazy to ridiculous.

Thats actually really clever, really simple yet effective. I have one of those on my cell phone charger cord and it works like a charm.
