Reader Noah Baird writes in with a 5-Minute Project idea: the guitar cord holder (though it could work with any cord).
2 Tic Tac containers
Duct tape
Guitar cord
1: Duct tape the Tic Tac containers to each other.
2: Wind the guitar cord around them.
Increase the number of containers with the length of the cord.
I suspect you could substitue lots of things for the Tic Tac containers (the Altoids cord holder?).
Have a 5-Minute Project idea of your own? Send it to us at h20 at time4.com or submit it to the PopSci Instructables group. —Mike Haney

Be careful about winding guitar or other co-axial cables too tightly. This can cause the inner cable to pull free from the contacts at ends.
You might be breaking the cable winding it that way. Try going clockwise, then after one loop twist it to make it turn counter-clockwise. Repeat until wrapped.
