Make Your Headphones Tangle-Free with This Friendship-Bracelet Technique [DIY]

If you've ever used a cord in your life, you know they're prone to tangles. Headphones?especially earbuds?are some of the worst. Clever DIYer Ada(: posted a crafty solution: wrap your headphone cables like they're a friendship bracelet and they'll become tangle-free.

If you know how to make the square/Chinese staircase knots required to make a friendship bracelet, you already have the requisite skills for pulling off this tangle-prevention headphone hack. If not, read this. You're essentially making a friendship bracelet around your headphone cables. While Ada(: used embroidery floss (which you can pick up at almost any craft store) to get the job done, you should be able to get by with a thin string. Embroidery floss, however, will provide you with a softer finish and a much wider choice of colors.

Ada(:'s headphones took about a day to wrap in embroidery floss, so if that's more time than you want to spend avoiding tangles you should learn a handy wrapping method, make a cord wrapper, or buy an AppleCore.
