Feminized DIY Cables

Decorative Power Cords by Natalie Shriver Upgrades Unmanageable Wires

— May 30, 2013 — Tech
There are tons of cable management products on the market, but they often advocate hiding away the cords rather than embracing them as an inevitable part of a tech-ridden lifestyle; the decorative power cords offer a different option for those who aren't ashamed of wires. It is a fun do-it-yourself project that embellishes their look in a stylish way.

The decorative power cords DIY project was conceived by Natalie Shriver and art directed by Bri Emery of designlovefest. For a basic upgrade, all a person really needs is a pair of scissors, a few colorful rolls of washi tape and a little bit of time. To create a fashionable fastener, leather scraps and thread are also necessary.
