I have one on a flea market find that hangs on a hook from the ceiling, I just measured how long my cord was and doubled that amount, made it about 3 inches wide, really 4 with seam, sewed a long tube, the hard part is turning it to the right side, I did use some drapery fabric, so it was a little hard to turn, after I threaded it onto the cord, it still looked plain, so I took a silk ivy vines and wound it around the thing, looks ok now, you have to adjust the scrunchs along the way. thought I had a picture handy, can't find it. rene

Measure the length of the cord,double that,decide how full you want it,then cut and sew a tube,turn right side out and thread it onto your cord.It's very easy.If you don't want to do that,just paint your cord the same color of the room and it will dissappear as well.That's what i did.It's barely noticible.

That's so easy even I can do it! Thanks!!!

Here's a little trick to help pull that cord through. When you fold your fabric to sew the seams insert a long piece of sturdy string in the fold,leaving a few inches at the end. Sew across the top end to anchor it. Then sew the long side seam. Have someone hold the end of the string taughtly at the open end and pull the fabric right side out starting at the closed end. Then you can cut the end and finish as you like and thread it over your cord. Hope this makes sense.

This is an idea I think I need to try. I teach preschool and after a flood last fall they moved all our outlets up high on the wall and the cords look awful. I can get some colorful print fabric and make them look a whole lot better. Thanks for the idea, Stephanie!!
