Crochet a “pigtail” from the number of loops equal to the length of your hoop. Continue knitting lengthwise to obtain a long piece of fabric, which is then sewn along the hoop. This option is not very convenient, since at the beginning of knitting it is difficult to decide on the required number of loops.
In this way, it is easier to select the required number of loops – we will use it. We knit a “pigtail” from the number of loops equal to the width of the hoop. Use the purple Yarnart Jeans thread.

In order not to be mistaken, we apply the pigtail to the base, adjusting its length.

For a base 2 cm wide, a “pigtail” of 10 VP was needed. We enclose the loops in a ring.

And we knit sbn in a circle, forming a knitted cover, in which we will later hide the bezel of the headphones.

1 row: 10 sc in a ring

2-101 row: 10 sc (1000 sc)

For a 35 cm bezel, 100 rows were needed.

Having tied the cover, the length of which is equal to the headphone hoop, we break off the thread and put the knitted tube on the bow.

In order to securely fasten the knitted fabric of the headband, we will later sew it to the knitted details of the ears. But even now, if the workpiece allows, we fasten the knitted pipe.

As a result, we get such a bezel.

Stage 2. We knit “ears” (outer part)

The size of the crochet pieces for the ears depends on the diameter of your workpiece. I have a circle diameter of 8 cm. The diagram below is suitable for this size. If your workpiece is larger (smaller), then evenly add (subtract) loops during knitting, forming a circle. We start knitting with Kartopu Anakuzusu thread. We knit in a circle, according to the scheme. For convenience, to mark the beginning of the row and to correctly count the loops, you can use any contrasting marker thread.

Scheme:

1 row: 6 sc in a ring

2 row: 6 ave (12)

3 row: (1 sbn, pr) x 6 times (18)

4 row: (2 sbn, pr) x 6 times (24)

5 row: (3 sbn, pr) x 6 times (30)

6 row: (4 sbn, pr) x 6 times (36)

7 row: (5 sbn, pr) x 6 times (42)

We knit 3 sbn and rearrange the marker – there will be a new beginning of the row.

As a result, we get a fluffy circle for almost the entire frontal part of the ear. Next, we move on to knitting with a purple thread of Yarnart Jeans. The Kartopu Anakuzusu thread is thicker in structure than Yarnart Jeans, therefore, to increase the number of loops, we make more increments according to the scheme:

8 row: (2 sbn, pr) x 14 times (56)

9 row: (3 sbn, pr) x 14 times (70)

This number of loops should be enough to cover the diameter of the ear circle. That is, the diameter of the connected circle should be 8 cm.

Close the width of the ear.

10-13 row: 60 sbn (240)

We leave the long end of the thread for further tying the ears. Repeating the first step, we knit the second part of the outer part of the earphone.

Stage 3. Knit “ears” (inner part)

We knit the inner part of the ears, evenly making additions according to the scheme, with pink Yarnart Jeans yarn.

Scheme:

1 row: 6 sc in a ring

2 row: 6 ave (12)

3 row: (1 sbn, pr) x 6 times (18)

4 row: (2 sbn, pr) x 6 times (24)

5 row: (3 sbn, pr) x 6 times (30)

6 row: (4 sbn, pr) x 6 times (36)

7 row: (5 sbn, pr) x 6 times (42)

8 row: (6 sbn, pr) x 6 times (48)

9 row: (7 sbn, pr) x 6 times (54)

10 row: (8 sbn, pr) x 6 times (60)

11 row: (9 sbn, pr) x 6 times (66)

In the process of knitting, we get not a circle, but a hexagon. To round off the edges a little, we knit the mixing loops – that is, after finishing the 11th row, we knit 3 sbn and rearrange the marker. There will be a new start to the series. We continue to knit according to the pattern.

12 row: (10 sbn, pr) x 6 times, (72)

13-14 row: 72 sbn

As a result, we get a round part – the inner part of the ear.

Repeating step 3, we knit the second part of the same.

Stage 4. Assembly

So, we have all the necessary elements to assemble the headphones.

To seal the inner part of the ears, cut out two circles with a diameter of the workpiece from thick cardboard.

Connecting the inner and outer parts of the eyelet, laying them with cardboard, we tie the parts together with the help of sbn for both edges of the blanks.

Without tying a little to the hoop, through the still open hole, fill the eyelet with holofiber from the inside to the desired volume and softness)

We finish the strapping of the parts, reaching close to the hoop. Here we carefully sew up the small remaining hole with a thread to match the details.

As a result, we get soft pads on the inside, and fluffy ones on the outside)

That’s all, bright crocheted headphones “Juicy Berry” are ready.

braided headphones

To decorate many creative works, artists use laces. But they constantly end, so you have to go to the store for a new batch. And women of fashion use a variety of laces to decorate the neck.

However, do not rush, because they can be made from threads with your own hands, while showing imagination and creative thinking. Such an activity will not only be useful, but also very exciting.

What we need?

All we need is:

– Straight cable or wire from the charger.
– Thick hairpin or other steel tube, can be without thread.
– Cable ties – threads can be used to secure.

Boil the water

We take the most ordinary saucepan and pour ordinary water into it. The only thing is that the pan must be of such a size that our hairpin fits into it and is completely immersed in water. Then we put the pot on the stove. In the meantime, the water comes to a boil, let’s do a few simple actions.

Preparing to wind the wire

Use nylon ties to secure the end of the wire to the beginning of the hairpin. See how it is done in the photo.

1 How to protect the wire from kinking and internal fracture of the core

Wire is the weakest point in headphones, at least in terms of breakdown statistics. Most vulnerable:

The junction of the cable with a plug (jack).
Places of connection with the body of the headphone housings.
Connecting the transmitter to the cable inside the capsule.
Wire separator.

Next, let’s look at how you can strengthen the headphone wire in all these places.

TOP 10: Best Wired Headphones
TOP 15: Best Headphones for Music

Connecting the cable to the plug

It almost always makes sense to strengthen the place where the wire connects to the jack. Especially if the cable itself is thin. This is most common with in-ear headphones and earbuds. But even if the wire looks quite strong (fabric braid, thick plastic), it will not hurt to additionally protect it from kinking. There are several options.

Spring from a ballpoint pen

A spring from an auto-pen or some kind of children’s toy. If only it was quite long (but not very), strong, and suitable in diameter (so as not to “stick” into the cable, but also not to “dangle” on it). We just take the spring and screw it onto the cable. It is important to make sure that a couple of turns are around the seal of the plug, in this way we protect the most dangerous place from kinking. You can additionally fix the spring on the jack (so as not to “slip”) by wrapping it in this place with transparent tape.
Heat shrinkage. Another effective way. You can find heat shrink tubing at any hardware and repair store. We put it on the cable so that the part is on the plug, and heat it up. You can use a hairdryer or a lighter. It is important to do everything carefully. This method is suitable for reinforcing flat wire.
Insulating tape. When looks don’t matter. Better to use blue – they say it is stronger. Seriously though, it is quite possible to carefully wrap the plug and cable around it with a layer of electrical tape. This will significantly increase the stiffness of this connection.

We warm up the heat shrink tube. Only at the plug. You can, of course, combine the options described. For example, put on a spring, wrap it with electrical tape on top, and put heat shrink on it. But even this strange “ritual” does not eliminate the need for careful handling of headphones.

Connecting the cable to the housing (capsule, bowl)

It is especially important to protect the headphone wire from breaking at the points of its connection with the housings for vacuum models and earbuds. If not while listening, then during storage, the cable most often bends strongly around the capsules. Usually there is a thickening-protection, but it bends just under it.

In this case, all the same options are relevant as described above: spring, heat shrinkage, electrical tape.

Sealing at the junction of the bowl and cable

For full-size and on-ear headphones, the junction of the cable with the bowl (or bowls) is usually reliably protected, and there are no kinks during use. By the way, this additional protection here helps to fight the next problem.

Internal connection of the cable to the radiator

Internal fracture of a cable core is a fairly common problem. In the capsule itself, the cable is soldered to the emitter (roughly speaking, of course), and this connection is often not protected by anything, that is, the cable literally “hangs” on this solder. If there are no reinforcements outside, and inside the capsule cup there is not even a wire knot, the wear of this element becomes very high.

You can check if there is reinforcement inside the case without even disassembling anything. This is especially simple if the headphones are in-ear or in-ear. Gently “push” the cable into the capsules, and then “pull it out”. If there is a feeling that he “walks” inside, then there is no external reinforcement. Even if there is visually something similar, it clearly does not hold the wire.

Internal cable reinforcement

It is best not to disassemble the headphone casings as long as they work well. It is more logical to protect the wire from breaking from the outside. The same heat shrinkage on the capsules will help. You can just drop glue on the “joint”. Let it dry, and the cable will no longer “walk freely”, the load will be distributed differently, there will be no strong pressure on a part of the wire (more precisely, just copper conductors) inside the enclosures.

If the cable, for example, is detachable, then, of course, there is no such problem. But the load is still there, only not on the wire inside the case, but on the plug and connector between the cable and the capsule. Nothing can be strengthened here, it is important to just handle it carefully. If the connector is 2 pin, do not bend to the side, if the MMCX is also not bend, and still do not twist too much.

Also, the pressure on the cable near the headphones themselves can be reduced by using the BTE method of wearing. Of course, this is true for “small” headphones. But here it is important not to allow excessive bending of the seal near the housings. That is, when throwing the cable behind your ear, you do not need to pull it down for a more reliable fixation. Let it be a little “free”.

Life hack first, almost electric

Often in apartments, garages or workshops, you can find bunches of electrical cables coiled into rings thrown to the floor or somehow fixed. The presence of such bunches is unaesthetic, inconvenient and, most importantly, unsafe.

To ensure the compactness of the bundles of cables and to protect them from mechanical damage, you can install a common braid on them. In this regard, a plastic spiral spring is very convenient, which is used, for example, for stitching common notebooks.

However, if you use only notebook springs, then you can simply go broke on the purchase of such notebooks. A similar braid can be made from a plastic bottle. To do this, you will need to make a simple device consisting of a lath with a cut and with a fragment of a knife blade installed on it.

It is necessary to insert a pin into the hole of this device, the length of which is equal to or exceeds the depth of the bottle. On this pin, a bottle with a cut-off bottom is installed so that its edge enters the cut. A piece of knife will make a cut at the edge of the bottle, and if you pull on the edge of the cut, plastic tape will begin to form as the bottle unfolds.

The edge of the tape is fixed on a rod of the required diameter, and then tightly wound in a spiral onto it.

After completing the winding, the tape must be shrunk over any burner or construction hairdryer.

Don’t have a hair dryer yet? Be sure to buy it! You will need it! But first read this article!

After shrinkage, the tape is shifted from the rod, and a ready-made plastic spring is obtained, into which you can “put on” a bunch of wires, which we talked about at the very beginning of the description of this life hack.

Life hack second, completely electric

Sometimes it happens that a bulb with an E14 base burns out, and only E27 bulbs are at hand. How to be? Of course, you can go to the store and get an adapter or a new light bulb. But, if the time is late, if the store is closed, and you are an artisan, you can solve this problem with your own hands.

For work you will need:

burned-out lamp base;
soldering acid;
solder;
soldering iron.

The plastic part should be separated from the base part of the E14 and the unnecessary elements should be unsoldered from there, leaving the center conductor in place.

Then you just need to solder the center conductor to the center contact of the base of the E27 light bulb, and then solder the screw parts of both bases.

For a craftsman, such a task will not be difficult. All this work can be done in just 5 minutes.

However, it should be understood that this solution to the problem is only temporary. The fact is that part of the base is outside the socket and poses a danger to users, since it can be energized.

If a light bulb modified in this way needs to be returned to its original state, this will require almost no work. Restoring the light bulb will only consist in unsoldering the soldered element.

So, we have described a two-component electrical life hack for you. We hope that the information we have provided will someday be useful to you.

Among our readers, for sure, there are specialists who know more deeply the subtleties of this issue. We will be glad and grateful if you leave any corrections and clarifications in your comments.

Laces on the neck

They were used mainly by those who only recently purchased a mobile phone: then, in the early and middle noughties, this gadget was still a sign of status. In addition, shoelaces were massively hung on schoolchildren so that they would not lose their precious gadget.

There were legends that criminals were operating in Russian cities, unbuttoning their victims’ jackets, grabbing the phone and tearing it off along with the cord, brutally scratching the neck. In reality, everything was much more boring. In the evenings, thieves rode public transport, looked for people who fell asleep with mobile phones on their laces, and very carefully disconnected devices with one click.
