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 do not rush to dispose of old headphones. Now we will find an extraordinary application. Breathe in the "new life."
Can I make a bracelet out of old headphones?
Of course. And this creative process, it should be noted, will brighten up leisure and save from unsuitable things. At the same time, such an accessory will be of interest to both adolescents and people of a somewhat older age.
How to make a bracelet from headphones with your own hands?
There are about ten varieties of these bracelets. Let's get acquainted with the most common:
- braid weaving;
- spring;
- nodular.
Braid weaving
It is necessary:
- headphone wires;
- a soldering iron with a small diameter of the heating surface;
- fastenings (fasteners). Available at any craft store;
- scissors.
Manufacture:
- We leave the plug from the headphones in place, it will hold our weaving. But the coverage of the wires of the headphones must be exposed (stripped).
- 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, fix with a soldering iron.
- Scissors in the middle at the place of soldering. We got four braided braids that can be twisted together or left in a straight position perpendicular to each other.
- We collect them “in a bundle” on the one hand and solder to the fastener. With the second end we also act, solder it to the second fastener.
Spring
Take:
- headphones in which fabric serves as an insulating material of wires;
- wire;
- pliers.
Manufacturing process:
- We wind the wire several times on the wrist, taking into account the free space so that the bracelet can be removed. Cut off the workpiece. Straighten it.
- Pass the wire from the headphone side to the plug into the fabric rim. Leave 1 - 1.5 mm, wire at the edges and bend them with pliers.
- We wrap it on the wrist, remove it, and if the lines are not ideal, we will correct it with the same pliers.
Nodular
We need only 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 at the same time.
- We place the right side of the wire across the left (cross), stretch the right speaker into the loop and tighten. Then left. We alternate until the speakers and the plug are at the same level.
- We put the bracelet on the hand, stretch both speakers and the plug into the loop and tie them.
If you string beads on the wires along the entire length, or add several large beads as a decor, this will give the product a more vivid and expressive look.
So, making bracelets was not at all difficult.
Where can I put on the bracelet from the headphones?
Places where it would be appropriate to wear such an ornament are limited. Although, for high school students, it will be appropriate, anywhere in the form of a sign of youth subculture.
Of course, older people cannot come to the office of the company or to a business meeting in it . However, such an accessory will be an unexpected and bright element at a party in a club, cinema, especially as an addition to leather clothes.
If you decorated the bracelet with beads, then it will be appropriate to wear it as an addition to the dress.
Application options depend on mood and inspiration.
