Wrapping the Phones

So although I completed this project about a week ago I figured I'd add it to my Dude, Get On That Already! list and then cross it right off :) Does anyone else add things to your to do lists just so you can cross them right off? Just me? I suspected just as much.

I'd been seeing and pinning various pictures of wrapping or friendship knotting around your headphones for a couple months and I loved it! It makes your headphones super cute and less tangleable (yup thats a word). I finally got around to it and I really like them :) I don't say love because, well, can a girl really LOVE headphones? I can't. So really liking them means two thumbs up when referencing headphones.

Here's a pic of my finished product. I love yellow and saw a pic of a yellow/blue combo on Pinterest so I went with it :) You could use any color or kind of friendship bracelet string (I'm pretty sure its officially called emroidery floss), the kind I had on hand just happened to fade from dark blue/yellow to very light almost white blue/yellow and back again. 



Here's a pic of the whole iPod/headphone combo. As you can see I ran out of yellow for my right ear bud (when I got to the split in the headphones I just took the blue string up the left one and the yellow string up the right one) so I've taped it in place for now but I'm going to go back and tie another yellow string to the short one and finish wrapping up to the right ear bud. I also need to super glue the knot at the base of the headphones (where they plug into the iPod) because right now its just taped to the back of my iPod. This really doesn't bug me and I'd forgotten about it until I actually looked at the back of my iPod so we'll see if that actually happens. I'm also wondering if the super glue will melt or mess up the headphone cord so I'm a little wary of actually doing it.


I'm still going to cross something off my Dude, Get On That Already! list this weekend I'm just not sure which one it'll be yet. I really want to do a fun one like find bedside tables or complete my yellow/black sitting pouf thing but what I really should do is my closet, clothes, or dresser organizing. We'll see which one I end up doing :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Love,
