Is the title of this post misleading? Maybe to some… I am not teaching you how to make friendship bracelets out of cables of lightning. For those of you unaware (my husband included, and he owns one), the new charging cables for iPhones and iPads is called a lightning cable, but this tutorial can work for any charging cable.
I was first intrigued by this project a few weeks ago and I posted about it here on one of the Weekend Winners posts, and the original post can be found here at Brit & Co, where the tutorial is WAY better! Here is my version:
And that’s that! As much as I want to wrap up my laptop’s cable also, I am afraid of the potential tendonitis that will come with it! This can be a grueling job on your fingers and hands… Has anyone else tried it?

April 17, 2013 at 12:43 amHa ha! I admit, when I clicked over from bloglovin’, I thought that perhaps “lightning cable” was something you could find at Home Depot and go all craftsy on, turning it into friendship bracelets. Ha ha. But this is even better! I love the ombre thread. How cool is that? If this will help keep my cords from getting tangled, I’m all over it!

May 4, 2013 at 3:37 pmThank you so much Mackenzie! I didn’t think I’d have much time either, but over the course of 3-4 evenings I completed it while watching TV – even if it was just a half-hour show, it helped put a dent int his little, but time consuming project! Thanks for stopping by to comment!
