glasses catcher and headphones.

step 1.  git a length of copper that fits over your head snugly, then add two or three more inches. twist the copper around a pole  for a twisted effect , this will also help hold the headphone cords,

step 2. tie the copper around the legs of the glasses, then insert the ends of your headphones upside down with the cord faceing downward, tie to the legs and twist the cord around the wire, do the side without the turbine first, do the same to the other side. You will have some cord left over, rap it around the light switch.
