Zipped up Earbuds

[LauPre]

I sewed the wires of my earbuds into this crazy purple and gold zipper to protect the wires from tangling and breakage.  I think it looks pretty neat, too!



I simply separated the wires all the way down to the plug, then sewed each wire along one side of the zipper.  Just fold the zipper tape in half towards the wrong side and use a running stitch to enclose the wire inside.



Keep them zipped in your bag, then unzip them when it's time to enjoy your tunes.

Ya know this rocks! Great solution to a problem that plagues almost all of us. I wonder how many hours I have spent removing knots and tangles in such cords....
