- 1). Lay the extension cord fully extended on the ground. Remove any kinks or twists. The cord is easier to work with if it is completely uncoiled, without twists.
- 2). Pick up the male end of the extension cord in one hand and use your other hand to pull enough cord to make a loop. The loop should be of a manageable size no bigger than a couple of feet in diameter. Starting at the male end puts the female end on the outside of coil to be used first when the cord is needed again.
- 3). Continue making loops that are the same size as the first loop. Stop making loops when about 3 feet of extension cord remains.
- 4). Wrap the remaining part of the extension cord tightly around the coil, in a manner similar to the top of a noose.
- 5). Wrap the cord around the coil until only a couple of inches are left. Insert this remaining cord through the coiled loop at the top. Pull it tight.
