Colorful Ear Buds

This is a craft anyone can do. I saw this idea on Pinterest, and I wondered if it would really work. Overall I am pleased with the outcome. Fair warning: this craft looks small, but it is time consuming. Making these ear buds took me about 2 and 1/2 hours.

Begin with a set of cheap ear buds, cheap because if you mess up, you're only out a few dollars. Tape the end to your work surface for stability and ease of working.

When first starting or adding a color, tie on string with a simple knot.

Make your design by pulling the sting out with your thumb in the shape of a 4. Wrap string under the ear bud wires and other color string.

Finally pull the string tightly and repeat.

I hope you can see the pictures well enough despite the back ground. If you need further tips or a video, let me know, and I will gladly provide one showing more detail.

Once finished, cut the ends of the string. I put a little bit of craft glue on the end so the strings would not come undone.

Try this craft, and let me know how it works for you!
