DIY Spiral Cable - Charging Cable

 It is often quite convenient if our charging cables can be stretched to just the right length to avoid unnecessary clutter. With all the gadgets that we use on a daily basis from mobiles to tablets I thought if would be nice if I could find a way to convert my existing cables into spiral cables....and I did just that.

Before you go about doing this a word of caution. This process worked fine for me so far but there is alway a chance of it messing up and destroying you cable, so do it at your own risk. We start off with this straight cable.








Secure one end of the cable to the head of a long screwdriver with a tape and start wrapping the cable firmly on the stem 

Once you reach the other end secure the other end with a tape

Use a hair drier and evenly heat the wrapped surface careful not to overheat any point

After the heating let it sit an cool

Remove the tapes and let the cable slide down

Now we have a spiral cable.
