3: Two crimp ends.

4: Two jump rings.

5: A lobster clasp.

6: A pair of broken headphones. I used these Sony headphones that don’t work any more.

Follow these steps to make your headphones into a necklace:

1: Clip the headphones so that you have a length that fits around your neck. I used the part between the ear bud and the split.

2: Add the charm to the cord.

3: Add a crimp end to either side of the cord, folding it in place using the flat nose pliers.

4: Add the lobster clasp to one side of the necklace using one of the jump rings.

5: Add the remaining jump ring to the other side of the necklace to finish it.

Now your upcycled headphone necklace is finished and ready to wear!
