• Earbuds

Step 1: Make a Loop

Hold the earbud side in one hand and begin to wrap the cord around the four fingers of your hand.

Step 2: Wrap Around the Middle

When you are halfway through the cord, remove the coiled cord from your fingers. Wrap the remaining cord around the middle of the coiled cord. Your wrapped cord should look a little like a bow.

Step 3: Push the Plug Through

Push the plug end through one of the loops of the bow and give it a gentle tug to secure.
