Felt Ear Bud Pod - closeup of finished pod You know how those wires get tangled with each other and with other things and get lost in the bottom of your handbag. Make this handy earbud pouch and you will always have them to hand.

Supplies:

felt in 3 colours
pen
something round to draw around
scissors
crewel needle
embroidery thread
a few inches of narrow ribbon
keyring

Steps:

Draw 3 circles, one on each colour of felt, about 3 inches in diameter.

Felt Ear Bud Pod - trace a circle on each piece of felt

Cut out the circles.

Put two of the circles together.

Cut them into two pieces just off centre.

Discard the smaller pieces and place the larger pieces on the third circle so that they overlap. (Red piece overlaps the light blue one; both are sitting on the green circle in this step.)

Sew them together using the embroidery thread using a running stitch. Reinforce the place where they overlap with a few back stitches. Sew half way around the red partial circle.

I have always wrapped the cords around fingers and then securing with an elastic band (which does nothing to hide them or keep them from being damaged). This Ear Bud Pod sounds like a really good idea.
