Craft: head phones

  When I worked for Glass Production, a few of the girls I worked with all went to Bolivia for missions work. I was never allowed to go to another country for missions work, and it was always too expensive for me. One day I saw the girls making these bracelets, I asked why are they making so many and she told me they were making them for all the little boys in the orphanage that they stay in Bolivia. I, of course wanted to help as much as possible, if I cant go to Bolivia I will help with this cute idea. So I bought a bunch of colored string and hemp string at Michael's and everyday during work, at home, and in the car (not driving of course), I would just make bracelets to show that, even though I couldn't help them get to Bolivia with donations, I could help in other ways.

  With that said, I was looking online at craft websites and blog after blog after blog where I stumbled upon a website that had thousands and thousands of crafts... pretty easy crafts (not that I could ever find the website again to keep looking at it). Well I found these head phones that were wrapped with yarn. It looked really cool so I thought, well I have hundreds of different color string up stairs that I'm never going to use again, why not?? So this is what I came up with:

You will need:

• colored string or yarn (I like string because yarn gets fuzzy after a while and I carry my headphone with me every where.. including the gym so I didn't want it to get ruined so easy)
• Head phones
• Tape

 

I used the same knots that I used to make the bracelets. Tie like the picture shows and then do the same to the opposite side, alternate between sides. It'll have the knot on either side of the cord making the effect that its flat.

When the head phone split I chose 2 more colors and used a single knot all the way to the head phone piece. That makes a cool spiral knot look.

 

 

 

This craft was easy, it just took me a few hours. I always get compliments on the head phone when ever I bring them out. There is so many color combinations you can choose. I think kids would really have fun with this craft too. Kids usually want cool looking head  phone, or their favorite color, now you can buy the plain white ones and spice them up with every color of the rainbow :) Have fun!

 

 

Love you all,
