It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

She Used This Sueded Cording From The Fabric Store To Add The Cutest Touch To Her Home Decor!

I never would have considered actually having some fun with an obviously placed cord but this is actually quite refreshing.

You have probably seen SUEDED CORDING at the fabric store.  Maybe you have ever used it.  But probably never for anything like this.

Here is what a Wise DIYer from housetweaking did:

1 – I used a small piece of double-sided adhesive tape and stuck it on the backside of the cord.

2 – I ran the sueded cording up the tape then wrapped it over on top of itself to secure the end.

3 – I continued wrapping the electrical cord with my sueded cording making sure to pull it taut for a snug fit.

4 – I wrapped the cord to the rotary line switch then used a drop of hot glue on the backside of the new red cord to secure the end. (It’s important not to apply the hot glue directly to the electrical cord.)

5 – I snipped off the excess sueded cording with fingernail clippers.

Pretty easy.  And look at how cute the result is!

I mean, this is a VERY small detail but what a fun and aesthetic accent.  I love it!
