Works for Me Wednesday: Zip Ties

Zip ties are amazing! I use them for cord control, and a multitude of other little fixes all over my house.

I thought I was particularly clever last weekend when I fixed a broken toilet chain with my own little chain of zip ties and a binder clip to connect it to the rubber stopper in the bottom of the toilet tank. But I guess Elizabeth over at apartmenttherapy.com and I think a lot alike. Check out her tiolet handle fix. We should team up, Elizabeth!

While cruising the internet for a good picture of a zip tie to use for this post, look what other uses I came across for the beloved plastic marvel:

Apparently, zip ties make for good traction on bike tires, too!

Check out this chair made from zip ties and pop tops! Reminds me a little of bug legs, but still cool.

Here's a hanging chair - for that 70's retro look.

And to finish off the look of your room, here's a zip tie chandelier.

And for the real zip tie zealots:

Zip tie jewelry, and a zip tie dress!

CRAZY!
