Tangle free (and pretty funky!) headphones

Fed up of your headphones always ending up as a tangled mess for seemingly no reason? Want something that sets you apart from the headphone wearing human race that we have become today? Well look no further! With some thread and an evening spare, you can achieve all that and more in no time!

Ok, so enough with the cheesy selling patter. Have a look and see what I've been busy doing to my headphones.



As my Dad said the other day, I've yarn bombed my headphones! Having been browsing on Pinterest for a little while, I came across the idea to repeatedly wrap thread around them much like a friendship bracelet. Not only does it make them look really funky but it also prevents the headphones to get in a major tangle. This is a fact and can be backed up by science due to the thread making the headphones heavier!

I've even created each ear piece wire in a different colour so I know which pod to put in which ear. This is especially good for me as I have a weird obsession with having to put the right ear piece into the right ear. It's easy to remember too. Red for Right!

Ok so it did take me a little while to do but it made for quite therapeutic evening's work in front of a movie. I love little projects like this. Fairly quick to do, a bit of fun that generates a lot of talk which sometimes encourages others to try the same! It's almost like a pass it on project.

So why not have a go yourself?
