Credit Card Earbud Winder

I know there are many different ways to wind the ear bud headphones. But nothing seems to work from me or I misplace the winding accessory. And getting the wires untangled is horribly annoying, when you need it.

So I came up with this idea to use a business card or a cancelled credit card or the sample cards that come with the pre-approved offers. Of these, you can always find a business card in your wallet or in your laptop bag.

For this instructable, I will use a cancelled credit card.

Items needed:

1. cancelled credit card or a used gift card or a business card
2. Ruler (optional)
3. pencil or pen (optional)
4. small rubber band (optional)

1. Mark  two points of equal distance  on the smaller side  of the card.
2. Use the ruler or well defined edge of a table to fold the card at the marks lengthwise.

Wind the earbuds and use a rubber band to hold the fold if needed. Unlike other methods,  you don't have to cut the card to hold the buds and jack.  I also found that repeated use with cut edges, damages the cable.

Hope you like this simple method to wind the ear bud cable and avoid "entanglement"!
