Awkward plug sockets can make for ugly wires trailing down walls. Many solutions include sticking wires to walls or even moving plug sockets. But it is actually really easy to make wires more appealing on the eye.
We purchased this lamp not too long back and since the first time we turned it on, the only thing i've i've been able to look at is the ugly black wires draping down the wall. Everything in our house is of a neutral shade, so to have a thick black wire contrasting against a grey wall just simply wasn't going to work.
So what did a natural crafter like myself do? Attack the wire with yarn, of course.
I thought i'd share my technique with you in case you've also got some ugly wires you wish to blend with your interior.
This project reminded me of being a little girl and making friendship bracelets with my friends. The ones that you weaved with your fingers and mixed several different coloured yarns into.
You will need:
- An ugly wire you wish to disguise
- Yarn of your choice (pick one that matches your interior, I went pale grey)
Step One: Starting from the plug, work your way down to the lamp base. Make an arch to the right hand side of the wire you wish to disguise with the yarn going underneath the wire
Step Two: Bring the yarn back over the wire and thread through the loop that you have created
Step Three: Pull tightly and voila - it really is as simple as that! Keep going and then once you reach the end of the wire, tire a simple knot and cut the yarn
