Description
DIY Holder for iPhone ear buds that will look like a bug when completed.
Ear buds form the eyes, and the jack forms the mouth while also working to hold the cord bundle in place.
Place the ear buds in first and then wrap the cords around the bug as shown. The way you roll it up doesn't really matter - there are a number of ways to do it on this thing... The volume control will naturally fit in the top of the insect, and the legs will also help hold the cords in place.
Best feature is that the cords don't become entangled during storage - and then just release the jack from the beetle's mouth and it will unwind like a spool of string! The weight will make it unroll itself.
It is designed so that you can also use the main ear bud for a phone call (e.g. in the car)without having to remove it from the holder. It looks like a funky beetle earring that will earn a few good curious stares from onlookers... That way you can just roll it up when you are done.
The beetle's "horn" acts a guide for the wires.
Please post if you make one.
