Make an EARPHONE HOLDER (…from a mint container)
I love listening to music. I always play some type of music while cleaning the house, driving in the car (talk radio….no way!), working on the computer, working out, etc. I don’t love using earphones because I’d rather blast it so everyone can hear……but there are many times that I need earphones. When I’m working out is probably when I use them most. Or when I’m talking on the phone and need my hands free — I use them then too. So, I always have a pair of earphones in my purse. And somewhere in my bedroom. But those darn things are always a tangled MESS! It drives me nuts. I have tried winding them up and tying something around them…..but another problem that creates, is that they become so small, I can’t find them in my purse.
So, Steve and I were chatting about that several weeks ago and I was telling him I needed some sort of case for them. And of course, I didn’t want to have to buy anything……so we started thinking. Then, he picked up this mint container sitting on his night stand and said, “what about this?” And that’s when I started gathering all the mint containers in the house (because I have several pairs of earphones)……….and created a little home for each pair of earphones. Hallelujah!
I can now quickly wind them up when I’m done with them, tuck them into their new holder, and know they’ll be right there when I need them next time.
And because I always carry a pair in my purse, I decided some sort of clip would be really helpful. Because now I can clip it to my purse, my gym bag, my car keys, or whatever else I have with me……and then I always know where they are — TANGLE FREE!
You can certainly leave yours plain……but I added little circles of fabric to mine, to give them each a pop of design!
Anyway, I made another quick video of the process…..because, why not? :) It’s quick but hopefully helpful to see the process actually happen. (You don’t actually need sound to understand the process but there is sound if you want it.)
And even though I made them with the purpose of storing my earphones inside, my kids want to use them as a coin purse. I thought that was a great idea too!
Enjoy!
