- jackbarclay 7y agoWrap them around a piece of scrap cardboard.

- geerlingguy 7y agoAlternatively go buy a few of those orange plastic extension cable wrap things from the electrical aisle at a big box store (either the plastic ones that are flat, or the big circular ones with a handle). I've had them for a decade, and every year I wind up my cords on them, and they always unwind easily the next year.
- kaybe 7y agoCareful coiling and then securing the coils with string in 3-4 places workes well for me. Coiling should be done while paying heed to the cable's preferred direction, if there is any tension it does not work well.
- jpindar 7y agoInstead of string, I use twist ties, which also come in handy for attaching the lights to things when deploying them.
- nolanhanz 7y agoRolled up newspapers work well for this too, albeit I doubt a lot of us here get a newspaper delivered everyday anymore
