Our household gets pretty cluttered with cable and chargers for the different devices in the house, so we came up with a way to “hide” the cables and charger and replace the clutter with something that is not an eyesore for the family and visitors!

We stopped by Michaels and bought a box, they had these chest like boxes (Star Wars of course). The boxes are available in different sizes, so you can pick whatever fits you best! I think they were about $25.00 for the extra-large one we bought, but we used a 40% off coupon to buy the box which brought the price down to a more manageable $15.

For this little project you will need a box of your choice, a drill, a large hole bit in addition to a smaller one sized one. The idea being get the bit that will properly drill a hole large enough for your smaller cord to fit through.

What you need to do is cut a circle in the side or bottom (we did the side) of the box so you can get a an extension cord through it connected to your surge/power strip. Next drill as many of the smaller holes as devices you have so you can run the cables through…place all your chargers inside the box and voila no more cable clutter!

One thing we liked about having this big box is that we can now place items inside the box that are charging that don’t need to be outside, such as tablets or phones. You can also use the box to store your remotes.
