6: A toggle clasp.

Follow these steps to make your headphone bracelet:

1: Clip the headphones so that you have one long thread.

2: Create a slip knot at one end of the headphone cord.

3: Put the knot around your finger and loop it again right next to the first loop. If you need a refresher on how to finger knit check out this video tutorial.

4: Pull the first loop over the second one and off your finger.

5: Add a bead to the next loop and repeat steps 3 and 4.

6: Continue this until your finger knitting is long enough to fit your wrist.

7: Knot the end of the finger knitting to secure it.

8: Add a crimp end to both ends of the headphone cord.

9: Attach the toggle clasp using the jump rings.

Now your upcycled headphone bracelet is ready to wear!
