10 Minute DIY Earbud Holder

April 19, 2016 by Bre 2 Comments

This weekend I’m running in my first race ever!  It’s only a 5K, but for a total non-runner, it’s a big deal.  I’ve been training hard for the past couple of months and am ready (I think)!

During my training I’ve been putting my tennis shoes and my iPhone earbuds to good use.  Those earbuds are usually just tossed into my purse post-workout, and they’re always a jumbled mess when I go to use them next.  (Probably doesn’t help that I put them through the washing machine once or twice, too. . . )Keep your earbuds tangle-free with this 10 Minute DIY Earbud Holder tutorial. So easy!

Because of that, I decided to whip up a quick DIY earbud holder that will keep them untangled and in good condition for workouts to come!  Keep your earbuds tangle-free with this 10 Minute DIY Earbud Holder tutorial. So easy!

This SUPER EASY DIY earbud holder will not take you more than 10 minutes to make.  Guaranteed!  Here are the supplies you’ll need (some of these are affiliate links.  To read my full disclosure policy, please click here.)

  • Stiffened felt
  • Pinking shears or fabric scissors
  • Self-adhesive Velcro dots
  • Disappearing ink pen
  • Thin ribbon
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue
  • Paper
  • Pencil

To get started, draw a 4″ x 4″ square on a piece of paper and cut it out.  At the top and the bottom middle of the square, cut out a .75″ x .75″ square so your template will look kind of like an “H.”  Trace the template onto the stiffened felt with the disappearing ink pen.  Keep your earbuds tangle-free with this 10 Minute DIY Earbud Holder tutorial.

Flip the “H” shape over and hot glue some thin ribbon to the outside.  Leave a little tail on each side, but trim enough of the excess ribbon so it’s not too long.Keep your earbuds tangle-free with this 10 Minute DIY Earbud Holder tutorial. So easy!

Wrap your earbuds around the inside notches, fasten your earbud holder, and enjoy tangle-free earbuds!  Keep your earbuds tangle-free with this 10 Minute DIY Earbud Holder tutorial. So easy!

      Thanks, Kristi! I know you’re an awesome runner so I’m sure you’re using those earbuds all the time. Let me tell you – I am NOT a runner! I am looking forward to getting back to my regular workout routine once this race is over!
