Make Your Music Earphones Tangle Free

post by KM

Chinese staircase earphones
Tangled music headphones no more. Headphones—especially tangled earphones—can be the worst. Luckily there is a super-simple knotting technique that can help alleviate this annoying occurrence for good.

Do It Yourselfer Ada(: at Pinterest, has developed a crafty fix: wrap your tangled earphones in a Chinese staircase, friendship bracelet pattern. If you know how to make Chinese staircase string bracelets, then you already have the required skills for making your earphones tangle free. If you are unfamiliar with this knotting technique, read How to make a Chinese Staircase bracelet. It is quite simple to understand.

Ada(: used embroidery floss (available at most craft stores) to cure her tangled earphones. Although, thin string should work just fine as an alternative. It is also suggested that you have enough floss/string to cover three times the length you are going to wrap. To get an accurate measurement, make sure to measure your earphones' cords, as well as both earpods.

It took Ada(: a day to complete her project. However, if Ada(:'s tangle free technique seems to involved and more time consuming than you prefer, you can always take the easy route and buy a Core Cord Winder.
