well, i'm sure you all saw my last mod, and now, well, the little things.

Directed to: ANYONE who has problems with earbud covers, that is anyone, not just iPod users, so direct them here! :)

okay:

Needle, thread, earphones, earphone covers.

Thread the needle, tie a knot... give some thread, about 6-12inches... tie a knot at the other end...

start kitting the needle through the earbud covers to the other side, when you are done, it should look like this:

don't pull too tightly, I'm sure the covers will break... they didn't break on me, but just dont over do it, but if you do its no big deal, just cut it all off(or if you can go back) and start again. Snip off any excess, or just tuck it under the earbud, thats what I did, and it works fine.

and for people wondering, you CAN use any color. :-p

I'm sure you can do more, make a very intricate pattern, or just try and make it another color on the inside.

hope this helps someone,

Yea I did this cause those d@mned things kept falling off, or I would jerk buds from my ear and theyd slide off..

I sewed mine just like yours only with black and red woven together, looks very string.. :-D

Nice post, I might post a pic of mine later, peace..

I did it. There are no issues with comfort and or function. Works very well.
