Make your extension cord pretty by beading it.

The beaded extension cord is perfect for powering holiday window lights and extending out out from underneath the Christmas tree. Original photography shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III digital SLR. The filmmaker's camera.Step One: Unscrew the connector to open it up; inside you'll find three screws. Word of caution: If you are using lamp wire, as we did, keep in mind that it should never be used on anything exceeding 300 Volts. Separate your lamp wires into two and strip off about a 1/4 inch of the wrapping to reveal copper wires. Taking the bunch of copper wires, place each one in between the connector's small metal plate and the screw; tighten each screw until it's clamped onto the copper cord between the screw and the metal plate.As you would with a necklace, string the beads to your liking but keep in mind how much room you want for the beads to move around; the less slack at the end, the more rigid the cord; conversely, the more slack, the more cord you're going to see.
