Headphone Keeper

Two hundred miles to Albuquerque and your little one announces “I can’t hear it”.

…….. The headphones are broken.

Now you get to listen to Elmo until the next civilized exit pops up.

This little idea helps keep your headphones from being trampled on the floor boards. Thus, extending the life of your headphones and your sanity.

Step 1 Gather your materials

DO NOT USE WIRE COAT HANGERS. In the event someone falls on the plastic hook, it will snap right off. Using a wire hanger could cause serious injury.

You’ll need a plastic coat hanger and rubber end caps. The plastic hangers are found at any home store and the rubber end caps come from the wire shelving section at any home improvement store.

For tools you’ll need a rotary tool, pair of diagonal cutting pliers, and a heat gun.

Are you working on a new mousetrap? I'd buy one! You see answers we didn't know we were looking, but when they come along we can't live w/o them ! Thanks! Previously, I thought you were based in the UK, but have no idea why.

What gave me away that I wasn't British?

A car trip to Phoenix ? It may've been the simple nature of UR manifold projects & many 'ible friends across the pond seem deprived of carriage space, except for our impromptu leader "The L-man" whose breadth & depth seem to lack for nothing. Mrballeng I do love UR work ! And as the most sincere tribute I've attempted to replicate them. : )

I reckon you thought he was English from the "-eng" at the end of his username.

This is utter brilliance! This could have saved me years of trauma in our car trips! ;)

Elmo is adorable. For about five minutes.
