It is generally accepted that components for household appliances, such as headphones, are disposable items. It is not advisable to repair them; material and time costs will be higher than the price of new ones.
But don't rush to recycle your old headphones. Now we will find an extraordinary use. Let's breathe “new life”.
Is it possible to make a bracelet out of old headphones?
Undoubtedly. And this creative process, it should be noted, will brighten up your leisure time and get rid of unsuitable things. Moreover, such an accessory will be of interest to both teenagers and slightly older people.
How to make a bracelet from headphones with your own hands?
There are about ten varieties of such bracelets. Let's take a look at the most common ones:
- weaving in the form of a braid;
- spring;
- nodular.
Braiding
Necessary:
- headphone wires;
- soldering iron with a small diameter heating surface;
- fastenings (clasps). Can be purchased at any craft store;
- scissors.
Manufacturing:
- We leave the headphone plug in place, it will hold our weaving.But the covering of the headphone wires needs to be exposed (cleaned).
- We divide the wire into two halves and “braid” the braid. We fix the ends with a soldering iron, strictly in the middle.
- Carefully separate the plug and the upper two ends and secure it with a soldering iron.
- Using scissors, we separate it in the middle at the place of soldering. We have four braided braids that can be twisted together or left in an even position perpendicular to each other.
- We collect them “in a bundle” on one side and solder them to the clasp. We do the same with the second end, solder it to the second fastener.
Spring
Let's take:
- headphones in which fabric serves as the insulating material for the wires;
- wire;
- pliers.
Manufacturing process:
- We wrap the wire several times around the wrist, taking into account the free space, so that the bracelet can be removed. We cut off the workpiece. Let's straighten it out.
- We thread a wire into the fabric rim from the side of the headphones to the plug. Leave 1 - 1.5 mm of wire at the edges and bend them with pliers.
- We wrap it around our wrist, remove it, and if we are not satisfied with the perfectness of the lines, then we correct it with the same pliers.
Nodular
We will need Just headphones and scissors.
For this bracelet, the insulating material of the wires must be rubber or plastic.
How to do:
- Separate the headphone wires in the middle. We measure the length of the bracelet and mark this distance from the speakers along the length of the cord. We tie a loop. Size so that both speakers can easily pass through at the same time.
- We place the right side of the wire across the left (in a cross), pull the right speaker into the loop and tighten it. Then left. We alternate until the speakers and the plug are at the same level.
- We put the bracelet on our hand, pull both speakers and the plug into the loop and tie them.
If you string beads along the entire length of the wires, or add several large beads as decoration, this will give the product a brighter and more expressive look.
So, making bracelets turned out to be not at all difficult.
Where can I wear a headphone bracelet?
The places where it would be appropriate to wear such jewelry are limited. Although, for high school students it would be appropriate anywhere in the form of a sign of a youth subculture.
Undoubtedly, older people cannot come to the company office or to a business meeting. However, such an accessory will be an unexpected and striking element at a party in a club or cinema, especially as an addition to leather clothing.
If you decorated the bracelet with beads, then it would be appropriate to wear it as an addition to the dress.
Application options depend on mood and inspiration.
