The Craft
~ Choose your embroidery thread colours. I found these ones at the dollar store, and they acme in a huge variety of colours and thickness, and the huge bonus was how much cheaper it was there than at one of the bigger craft stores.
~ Cut the chords about 4 times longer than the headphones. You will need all the extra length for when you start knotting it and it's easier to leave a little extra now than to be stretched at the end.
~ Tie all the chords at the plug-in end of your headphones, snipping the extra after knotting them tightly. Choose your starting colour and hold the others tight against the headphones. These will be wrapped up and hidden one you start knotting.
~ Create a loop with your chosen embroidery thread.
~Leaving the loop pinched between your thumb and the headphone line, wrap the chord over, around, under and through the loop, then pull it tight.
~ Continue with this until you decide to change colours. When you switch, simply tuck the first chord in with the rest and start off with a new colour. When you are completely finished, tie off the chords and snip off any extras.
