Keep the tangles away with this DIY Earphone Cord Holder
When I saw the earphone cord holder / keeper on Pinterest, I got really excited! This is exactly what I need to keep my earphone cord neat. I always squish and squash my earphone cord into a small bag and when I need it, it is almost always tangled up in knots. Then I have to spend a minute or two untangling it before I can use it. This is too much work for me. Hope my new clay earphone holder can help to keep the tangles at bay! =)

    Step 1

    Knead and roll the clay on the clear transparency sheet to about 5mm thick. Use the cookie cutter to cut out a heart shape. Use the drinking straw to pierce 2 holes about 5mm away from the edge and use the cutter to cut from the holes to the edge (see picture). Gently remove the excess clay.

    Use the alphabet stamps to stamp in your name or words to make your holder more interesting. This step is optional.

    Gently lift the clay off the transparency sheet and place it at a safe place for overnight drying. Let the clay dry for about 24 hours or until it becomes dry and hard. Once the clay is dry and hard, use a piece of sand paper to smooth out the rough edges, if any.

    Paint the holder in any colour you like with the acrylic paint. I have chosen to paint one in pink and gold and the other in blue and silver. I used a piece of tape to help me keep the line between the colours neat.

Great idea! How durable is the clay?

Hi! Except for a couple of small chips along the side due to wear and tear, the holder is still intact. Perhaps you can thicken the clay to make it more durable. Good luck! =)
