Easy DIY tangle free no hassle embroidery floss wrapped headphones!

Easy DIY tangle free no hassle embroidery floss wrapped headphones or ear buds


Ironman is constantly trying to use headphones that look like this ...



... all jumbled under his chin with about six inches of play connecting to his music. If I catch it I fix it for him but it drives   me   nuts! I tried making gift cards into headphone holders but I got sore fingers for nothing. They only work if they are used, and only while the headphones are physically on the holder. 

Then very recently I came across this Pinterest pin by Apartment Therapy. Aha! A solution!

There is a great tutorial for how to do this on wikihow, and you can see a video tutorial on this post I did on making a Simple Knot Friendship Bracelet which is the same technique.

The one thing I did differently from these tutorials is just use one colour at a time, and then knot the next one on when I was ready. It took approximately 40" of floss to do a three inch segment, and that includes room on either end to be wrapped underneath. The whole thing took 3 skeins of floss, which would cost about $2.50 or less if you bought them in singles. Nice cheap project!
