Headphone Bracelet

If in the 90s and 2000s adolescents with might and main were fond of weaving baubles (bracelets) of beads and floss, now not only specialized tools for bijouterie are used, but everything that comes to hand. One of the fashion trends was weaving bracelets from old headphones. Why from the headphones? There are explanations for this:

• adolescents love to listen to music that reflects their inner state, torment and searches. Therefore, a bracelet from headphones is a kind of symbol of freedom;
• since teenagers like to listen to music, but do not have enough money for good headphones, they quickly accumulate a tangle of wires from broken specimens. Such material is simply created in order to create something beautiful and rebellious;
• Some teenagers go to the MP3 player with wireless headphones and the old wires are no longer needed.

There are several possible options for making jewelry from broken headphones: weaving of wires cleaned from the sheath, weaving with knots and weaving in the style of macrame.

Making bracelets from wires without braiding requires additional tools: for example, a soldering iron. Nodular weave headband bracelets are the simplest jewelry. This technique is available even to a primary school student. But the appearance of such a decoration is far from accurate.

We should also highlight the bracelet on the neck - the choker, which is very popular among girls. If the purchased jewelry is made only in black, then using cords, you can create a variety of color combinations.

A great macrame knot that weaves on a pencil is a great way to make a beautiful headband bracelet.

Bracelet making technique:

• Two loops are fastened to the pencil (two sets will be required) from the headphones in such a way that 4 cords of the same length are formed. They are easier to call the numbers from 1 to 4 from left to right, so as not to get confused.
• The rightmost wire of the 4th number is taken and spreads over numbers 2 and 3, the leftmost one passes over the fourth one, goes under the second and third and goes into the fourth loop. Now the first number becomes the fourth and the same manipulations are performed with it. The resulting node is delayed.
• Now the process is repeated on the other hand in the mirror image. Thus, the entire bracelet of the desired length is performed.

You can see how to make a bracelet of macrame headphones using the following video:

This bracelet will require two headphones with a round cord or one pair with a flat double wire that can be broken by pulling on the ends. Initially, you need to trim the headphones themselves and attach the two ends with tape to the edge of the table, fixing them securely. If the cord is double, then just do not cut off the plug, but attach it to the table, it will be easier to work.

Weaving begins with the tying of the first knot, which is pulled to the end of the fixed edges. After the second knot is tied and stretched to the first. To pull knots one to the other you need to tightly and evenly, so that the bracelet turned out neat.

You can see how the knot bracelet is made from headphones in the following video:

A variant is knotted weaving, in which the headphones serve as a clasp. To do this, a couple centimeters from the headphones on the wires tied knot. Next, the knots are fitted to one another, forming a rigid bracelet. As soon as the bracelet of the required length is ready, a loop is formed at its end into which the fastener headphones are pulled.

It is necessary to remove the braid from the wire without cutting the plug. This will prevent the wires from disintegrating.

Weave from four wires a pigtail on all length of a cord. We divide the resulting pigtail into segments that correspond to the size of the grip of the wrist. We solder these segments into one from two ends with a soldering iron in order to get many braids in a bracelet. Metal tubing from the key fittings, sold at any needlework store, are put on the ends.

The disadvantage of this jewelry is not only the need for soldering skills, but also the fact that the bracelet can stain the skin.

Choker has a kind of weaving, which allows the bracelet to stretch to the size of the head and shrink to the size of the neck, while not squeezing it. The decoration woven in this style looks spectacular and is very easy to perform.

Making a choker bracelet is in the following video:

Prepared wires are fastened with a paper clip. The right wire leads around the left front and is pulled back over the formed loop. The same is done with the left wire - it is circled in front around the right and pulled over the girth. Thus, alternately weave both wires to the chain of the desired length.

In the first case, securely fasten the cords with knots and cut them as close as possible to the knot. In the second case, you will have to remove the braid from the cord, twist the wires together. Ideal if you pour them with hot glue so as not to prick the skin of the neck. For the third option, you will need to open the microphone box, remove the wires from there and insert the ends of the choker in their place. Then the box snaps.

If you want something completely original, it is possible that a strong wire of the required length is inserted into the cord from the headphones. Then from the wire form a spring of several curls. The bracelet painted with gold or silver acrylic looks impressive. To ensure that the headphones themselves do not dangle on the wrist, they can be fixed in the desired position with hot glue.
