We were frequently travelling when we lived in India - mostly either to Chennai or to Mysore or once a year to some other place for a break.
I love to travel light and so I never really carried anything more than my handbag and small suitcase/bag for my clothes. My husband, on the other hand, loved to take his entire wardrobe along if he could. His luggage almost always included his gadgets - mainly his laptop, tablet(s), phones, earphones etc. and these obviously came with their own sets of chargers and wires.
That is when I realised how great it would be to make a carry-on organiser for the cords!
I was looking for something where I could store these cords and also easily carry it around in our backpack or handbag (and mainly to save them from getting tangled with one another).
Thats when I came across this great tutorial on Pinterest - http://www.liveitloveitmakeit.com/2014/09/makers-month-make-it-cable-cozy.html
Although the main idea was from there I did not completely replicate it and did my own version of the cords organiser. I didn't find great use of the zippered pouch that was on the tutorial as I didn't want the pouch to become too bulky after stuffing things into it; and to hold my phone charger I gave a bigger gap to one of my elastic partitions.
I used these:
Felt sheet - approx 12 inch X 10 inch
Scrap cloth (reused one of my daughter's shirts that was too tight for her to wear)
Elastic tape
Velcro
Fancy button (just to give it a pretty look)
Felt alphabets (again.. to give it a nice pretty look :))
And this is what I ended up with :
