Custom Earbuds

I don't know about you but I love personalizing things to make them my own so I was so excited when I came about the idea of personalizing earbuds on YouTube.

The Finished Project...
I got this idea from my friend who had earbuds that looked like they had wrapped string around them so I decided that I could do my own.

What you'll need:
Earbuds
String/Floss (the sewing kind not the teeth kind
Tape (optional)
Clear Nail Polish

So basically what you're going to do is make a friendship bracelet around the string of the earbuds. This will have to be a friend ship bracelet that when you make it you are making it around the string.
If you want to change colors/ran out of string and need to start a new piece of string you are just going to want to let the ends of the string drop down (don't cut them just yet). To make this easier you can tape the string down with a piece of tape.
 Right where that color ends you are going to want to wrap your new piece of string around the wire and the ends of the old piece of string.
 Continue friendship bracelet making..
 When you are getting to where the ends of the the string end take the tape of and cut of the excess string. This method secures the ends without a knot, and creates a seamless change.
 This is more of my headphones...
 And just continue to friendship bracelet make until you are done. To finish the final ends you are going to want to cut them really short and to make sure it doesn't come undone and fray you can seal it with some clear nail polish or colored if you want.
Then you are done!!!!!!!!!
Make it your own!!!
