I have this problem with gadget.. You see... I have all these stuff and all of these gadget charger and all of it just gets tangled up like crazy. I even broke one of my USB cable charger because the cable always getting tangled on my charger pouch and I kinda yank it and the cable plug fell off 
. Not to mention all my gadget have different plug so I tend to carry several cable for charging and add that with another earphone in it my pouch was a mess inside. I use to use one of those wire tie to tidy up my cable but I always loose them, same thing happen when I use rubber band or worse I bought several cable tie and all of them are missing now. I don't like to use that wire tie thingy or rubber band cos they look ugly but I don't want to keep buying cable tie either. So what did I do? I crochet them!! Why didn't I think about it sooner!!

I'm still experimenting so I made several kinds of cable tie. There's one with a small button clasp, one with a crochet button (a regular button is fine too BTW) and another where I sew the cable tie onto the cable itself so I won't loose it ever again!!
This is the first type of crochet tie that I made. I started with a number of chain usually around 30-40 chain and I use a local cotton yarn and crochet steel hook #4. After that I make a single crochet across the chain and when I reach the end of the chain I make another chain for the button loop and then continue with another single crochet across the other side and then fasten off. For the button I just crochet a small circle and sew it at the other end of the crochet tie. FYI it doesn't have to be a crochet button though, a regular button is fine too.
The second type is a crochet tie with a small button clasp (IDK what it's called >.<!). It was easy to make too but took longer to sew the button on. I also think it'll look cute as a bracelet doncha think?
This is the third and my favorite type because it's attached to the cable itself. I definitely won't loose another one if it was like this.
Not just for chargers, I also made it for my hair tools, desk lamp, Blu-Ray cable and basically any loose cable at my apartment #LOL
