A simple and useful material, nylon cable ties can be a great tool for your home. Generally used as seals, they are cheap, sold in various sizes and can be very useful: they help maintain organization, in minor home repairs and many other amazing uses. Doubt? So check out 10 new features for them!
1. Cable organization. This is a simple way to organize all the loose wires behind TV and computer furniture and insist on tangling. To avoid clutter, wrap the remaining wire from each appliance and secure with a small cable tie.
2. Party decoration in place. Some cable ties can help you keep party decorations in place, such as Christmas lights, photo clotheslines and other hangers, without the effort of using nails or tying strings and ropes.
3. Child proof house. Keep your children and small visitors safe by storing in cabinets everything they can't handle. An easy way to ensure that objects are not within reach of children is to secure cabinets with cable ties.
4. Stop thieves. To avoid the risk of being surprised when you travel, attach the two zippers of your bags to each other with a cable tie and prevent it from being opened.
5. Fix broken zipper. A zipper becomes useless when you cannot pull it down and up. If your zipper has lost the handle, an easy solution is to attach a tie to it until you can change it.
6. Repair broken necklaces. Is the clasp of your favorite necklace broken? Do not throw it away. Secure it with a small loop of cable tie.
7. Flower arranging trick. To make your arrangement even more beautiful and make sure the flowers stay in place, secure the bouquet with a clamp before placing it in the vase. Just be careful not to over tighten.
8. Unclog a drain. Sometimes no elaborate tools or harsh chemicals are enough to unclog a stranded bathroom drain. For the clamp can help you! Make small diagonal cuts on the sides of the clamp, forming small "teeth". Slide the object down the drain until dirt snaps into the cracks and pulls out. Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary.
9. Keep the closet organized. To keep your bedding organized, you can wrap and secure towels, sheets and blankets with the help of the cable ties. This will make it easier to keep everything in place.
10. Keep plants up. Clamps can help keep small trees, roses, and any other plants that need support upright. Just hold them to a cable and secure with the clamp not too tight.
