Headphone Wrap and mp3 player

Headphone wrapping and my MP3 player 

How I store it:
In an altoids tin. It fits perfect and keeps it nice, safe,  and dry.

Then I wrapped my headphones with embroidery floss. It keeps them untangled and looking cute!

 

To make this you'll need:

• embroidery floss (twice the length of the headphones you are wrapping) in multiple colors (the more you have the thicker the wrapping will be (and less tangled) and the more often you'll change colors. (unless you repeat a color) I had 5 different colors.
• OR Yarn (this is thicker but less durable)
• headphones
• a clipboard (optional but helpful)

 

1. Start by knotting the embroidery floss (all of it) onto the bottom of the headphones (where the plug in spot is) If you choose to do so, put it on the clipboard with the ear-buds facing down and falling off the edge of the clipboard

 

2. Make a four shape (4) by taking one of the strands (or two of the same color depending on your preference) and making the four shape over top of the headphones and rest of the embroidery floss.

 

3. This part is the tricky part: Take the end of the folded over piece (the single strand) and thread it through the bend of the four (so you'll end up going under the headphones and rest of the embroidery floss but over the original four)

 

4. Now you have successfully made one knot! Repeat 10 times or until you think it is long enough. The knots will start to go around the headphone, which is fine. (which is why this is sometimes called the snake on a pole) If you want them to go around more often, twist the headphone bottom periodically- the more often the more wrapped around it will be)

 

 

If you run out of embroidery floss or yarn don't worry just knot some more on to the previous strand and keep working.

 

 

5. When you reach the end you can wrap the headphones or not and just knot it at the end. Cut the strands and glue in place. And you are finished!
