Hi y'all. You guys know I love me a good DIY right? I totally blame this macbook. I used to lay in bed at night and have cool ideas and be too lazy to get up and research them on my desktop and then forget all about it in the morning. Now I have cool ideas AND Google, Etsy and Ebay at my fingertips smh. So here's another DIY, brought to you by my macbook and my insomnia.DIY Thread Wrapped HeadphonesWhat you'll need:
headphones (duh)
thread and/or yarn
scissors
So this was relatively easy. If you're familiar with lanyard patterns or friendship bracelets or anything of the sort, it'll be a cake walk. You're really just doing a lanyard pattern around the headphones. Most people use embroidery thread but you can also use sock yarn which is what I used on mine.
I bought my yarn from Michaels but you can also find them on Etsy or any local sewing/knitting supply store. I used a self-patterning sock yarn so that the yarn would change colors as I wrapped my headphones but there are plenty of options if you only want one color. When I finished, this is what they looked like:
 
What I love about these is that they're super cute and they don't tangle anymore which is a plus. I was gonna do a full tutorial but it really is super simple. Plus, Jesus died so Google could live. I just thought it would be a fun little project to spruce up my headphones. I also ended up doing two others in embroidery thread for my friends. Here's what they looked like:
 
So there you guys have it. Super fun and super easy. Let me know if you guys try this, if you like it or if you hate it. And thanks to my random insomnia, I already have my next three DIY projects lined up so look out for those too. Deux dwet!
