Default DIY flat extension cord?

Just had to power something pretty far away from the outlet and had to
use a standard extension cord.Â* Since this goes across the floor, I'm
wondering if there's anything I can do to make this anti-trip?Â* My foot
has caught it a couple of times, so not very good if I keep it the way
it is.Â* I see flat extension cords online, but price is too high.Â* Maybe
I could make one?Â* Thanks in advance.


For short term use when I was displaying my book scanner at the
Tulsa Maker Faire, a one day event, I plugged the extension
cord into the provided in-the-floor outlet and then taped it to
the floor. Gaffer tape is preferred, but duct tape or even
masking tape will do.
