The original Inspired To Create Tutorial to sew up an earbud zippy!
I actually used this idea one other time & hated the results, so I didn't count it till I used the idea again & decided it was great inspiration. It's a Zippy Earbud Pouch. Here are my first hideous results...

What I did wrong was 1. improvised instead of reading directions, and 2. rushed and didn't think it through. So, I used it a bit, it started falling apart, and I set it on my cutting table to remind myself to go back and try it again. And, I did. But with my own twist.
The HST BOM has got me thinking up things to put Half-Square Triangles on, so I decided I wanted a little HST pouch for my earbuds instead. I made some little 2.5 inch squares from scraps and turned them into 2 inch HSTs that I played around with to find a pattern I liked...a pinwheel?

a diamond?
a hourglass? So many ways to rearrange!
I finally settled on a chevron design for one side...
and hourglass for the other...
Now that is an earbud pouch I can admire!
It also is not that much bigger than the little circle - only about 3/4 on an inch taller & wider. I used a little extra piece of zipper to make the loop which I kindof like & will do again in other projects. Yay!
The original Inspired To Create Tutorial to cover your earbuds!
I'm also using this idea to fancy up my plain black earbund to go in this little pouch. I used to do this wrap and knot technique for friendship bracelets in junior highschool so I just dumped out a bunch of embroider floss I thought I might like to use up and got to work. This one will take a little bit to wrap all the wire but it's an easy something to do in front of the TV. I also didn't get fussy with colors choices, but you could totally color coordinate your earbuds with their zippy or phone or purse.

EDIT: This post was formerly 'Using a Pin' & linked to Pinterest. But, now...I've decided to delete myself from Pinterest & go back and post a link the original sites where the ideas I used were found. I love the idea of Pinterst, but all the legalities of photo ownership & lack of good credit for all the people with these great ideas bothers me. Plus, do I really need another thing to do online? No. I need to spend more time in real life creating rather than endless hours gathering millions of ideas I'll never use. I already get lots of photo inspiration over at Flickr, which I have used for a long while & can continue to do that. If you happen to know of a different or variation on the source I use please let me know!
