My headphones broke the other day so that seemed as good as excuse as any to decorate another pair. The result was some floral crochet.
So what you need:
Pinkish purple, green and white yarn
Matching size crochet hook
Headphones
Scissors
I won’t repeat the basic steps so if you want to see the instructions on that part check out the other tutorial I did on friendship band headphones! So this was the result of that, I was going for a floral theme so I thought the headphone wires could be stems of the flowers so I did it in green. So now you just need to make a flower, I’m pretty lazy so I decided to use the most basic flowers I could remember how. If you can make a chain you can make these XD Cast on a stitch. Chain 4 Poke the hook through the first loop again. Chain through that loop to form a circle. Chain 6 And chain through the next stitch on the first circle. That’s the first petal. Repeat it to make 4 more petals :D Now change colours to pink and chain 10. Attach it to the middle of the next white petal and keep going until you have 4 more petals behind the white. Done! Now tie it off and leave the ends long. Tie a flower to each ear bud and one to the bottom. Leaving the ends long will make it even more spring-ish. Taaadaaa…
I was thinking of maybe adding another couple of smaller flowers and maybe some beads/diamantes to the ends of the strings. What do you think? Lastly, following on from the Magshop advertorial last week, Nuffnang have asked me to mention they have another offer as the competition ended so soon:
“Thinking of Christmas gifts? Browse through hundreds Australian magazines at Magshop, Australia’s best magazine subscription website.”
What do you guys think of the headphones, I think there are so many variations of these I want to make now!

That’s such a sweet idea, wonder if I can make them for my headphones I can’t wear the buds as my ears are that small lol, but it’s a good excuse to buy and deco a pair of headphones! xoxo
Violet I liked your blog post every time you post them, I also watch you YouTube videos and see what you doing.
Thank you so much :)
Those are really cute, but aren’t they a bit bulky and heavy? Do the wires still bend properly?
Nope, the crochet cotton is super light so I don’t even notice a difference to when they were plain ^_^
