Clamps (ties) from plastic bottles

A clamp or plastic tie is a very useful thing that can be used, for example, to clean up under a computer desk by collecting all the wires in a pile. Of course, now someone reading the article will say that the screed in the store costs a penny - and he will be right. I want to note that it may not always be at hand, there may be other reasons. Below are instructions on how to make a reusable clamp from a regular plastic bottle.
Such a clamp has one obvious advantage that the purchased one definitely does not have - it is reusable. It can be removed an infinite number of times without problems, and the same number of times it can be tightened and fixed.

Will need

Plastic bottle.
Scissors
Stationery knife
Ruler
Hole puncher.

We make clamps - ties from plastic bottles with our own hands

Take a plastic bottle and cut off the bottom. Next, cut into small strips.

Next, we cut these strips into even rings, approximately 10-12 mm wide.

Here is a drawing of the end of the clamp, which will serve as a lock and secure everything into a tight ring.

At the end of the strip, use a hole punch to make three holes, or 6, connected to each other.

This is an option for a wide belt.

Now, using a utility knife and a ruler, we cut off the sides so that the tongue fits well into the holes.

We cut with scissors.

The result is a clamp like this.

Now the application diagram:

It's simple: the first three holes of the tie's tail go in a row. But the last jump - the bend is done only after the screed has captured the desired object.

Do not underestimate such a tie - its gripping force is quite significant.

You can make a narrow tie to fit through the single hole of the hole punch.

Clamping technology is the same.

It is very, very difficult to tear or separate with your hands.

A visual experiment. The clamp perfectly holds a wrist expander with a rigidity of 25 kg!

And now the screed is directly at work, performing its duties perfectly. The free end can be tucked into the bun.

Making 3-4 pieces is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. This will be quite enough to cover all the interfering and protruding wires under your table.
