The pair of headphones I have been using are ancient, but they have served their purpose well. The only way I have found to protect the cords of my headphones is to wrap them with embroidery thread ( you know, the stuff you make friendship bracelets out of!) I love that there is such a wide selection of colors, not to mention that it is heavy duty stuff!
Supplies
- Headphones
- embroidery thread
- scissors
Start off by measuring out a really, really long length of thread. I would recommend about your arm-span twice, plus a little to be on the safe side :)
Tie a knot close to any of the thicker parts of the headphone. Make sure not to tie the knot on the thicker part of the headphones, the knot will slide down and loosed the thread around it.
Create a four shape onto of the cord with the loop pointing to the left.
Pull the rest of the thread through the loop and tighten. Repeat these steps until the headphones are covered.
Have fun personalizing your headphones :)
My sister graciously gave me a pair of old jeans, unfortunately they were WAY too big on me in the legs. Instead of turning down a pair of jeans, I took in the legs for a perfect skinny jean fit!
Supplies
- jeans
- straight pins
- pencil
-sewing machine
Put your pair of jeans on inside out and pin one leg to the desired tightness.
Take off the jeans and line up the outer seams. Then trace the line of pins over onto the other leg and pin.
Sew the legs of the jeans following the pins.
Try on the jeans right side out to make sure they fit and cut off the access material. Make sure to zig-zag stitch over the raw edge so it doesn't fray.
Go enjoy your jeans in the lovely spring weather! :)
