That was pretty cool, some stuff I thought of and others I didn't. resealing the letter will be put to good use. The toilet paper rolls seems like it would look very trashy though. I have little belkin wire organizer things I got at walmart for 97 cents, Ill stick with those.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd take advantage of learning about the envelope but won't be pursuing the use of toilet rolls to hold my wires.

I tried putting a lot of cologne on my light bulb in my room, and it didn't work. I used to mark my cords for my video games with toilet paper though.
