Ear bud case from a contact lens case

Screw, wrap, and tuck

Once you have made the cuts, insert the ear buds and screw on the caps. The caps will hold the ear buds in place while you wrap the wire. Most lens cases come with indentations which make wrapping the wire quite easy. It is important to wrap the wire loosely especially for the first few wraps. Wrapping the wire tightly will place a lot of stress on the wire, particularly where the wire joins the handle of the ear bud. The repeated stress will eventually break the wire inside.

Once it is wrapped you can tuck the plug under the wire to keep the it from unwrapping.
