Zip-up Earbuds. I love to have my music with me everywhere I go, but I hate the tangled mess my wires become when I toss them in my bag or pocket. Last night I whipped up a fun and functional solution by adding a zipper to my earbuds. This project took me around an hour to do (perfect for catching up on some t.v. from hulu.com). The supplies are few; basic sewing supplies, a pair of headphones, and a nice long zipper. I happened to have this crazy purple and gold nike zipper I found thrifting a while ago, it seemed perfect for this project.
The first step is to pull the earbuds apart, to separate the wires all the way down to the plug. Next, take one side of your headphones and one side of the zipper tape and start stitching the wire into the tape. Simply fold the outside edge of the tape under to the wrong side (enclosing the wire) and use a running stitch to hold it in place. It’s as easy as that! Then unzip them to the length I want and put them on so much faster than having to untangle the mess! Hair clipc. The Trois Dot Clip is brand new + sweet as pie. Each barrette is made from 3 hand-covered felted buttons that are attached to a French clip.
They are a simple pop of color for your hair, worthy of a double-take. Here's the package design to accompany the clips. Uh huh, it's the same photo as above with the clip attached. I'll have lots of Trois Dot Clips available soon in super fun color combinations. Unbelievable Paper Transformer. Craftgawker | look to inspire.
