You’ll need the following tools and materials to make this lariat.

3: Wireless earbuds. Hopefully you already have these 😉

Follow these steps to make your headphone holder lariat:

1: Take one of the hair elastics and slide it through the jump ring at one end of the chain.

2: Loop one end of the elastic through the other and pull it tight around the end of the chain. Add a knot above it to secure the elastic in place.

3: Add a knot in the middle of the elastic, make it sit closer to one end so that it is small enough to sit tightly around your ear bud.

4: Repeat steps 1-3 for the other end of the chain.

Once you have both elastics in place, your ear bud holder lariat is ready to use. Slide the elastic around each of your ear buds and pop them in your ears. When The ear buds are in use, the chain will hang around your shoulders like a glasses chain, when you are finished, you can pull the ear buds out of your ears and loop the chain around your neck like this. So handy!
