Sugru Monitor Headphones Hook by bwrussell
I am always switching between headphones and speakers on my desktop. This is nice and easy due to my audio hub, no plugging and unplugging required, but when the headphones aren't in use they are always in the way causing clutter. Sugru to the rescue! This is a simple Instructable showing my solution to this aggravation, a sugru hook on the side of my monitor.

Materials
  • Sugru - One pouch will do the trick unless you want to mix for a new color or you have bulky/heavy headphones.
  • Soapy Water - This makes the sugru easy to smooth by keeping it from bonding to your fingers/tools.
  • Paper Clip - (Optional) - This may be helpful if you have heavy or bulky headphones. Use it as a backbone for the hook.
Tools
  • Your Hands/Hand/Prosthesis
  • Paper Towel - Helpful for clean-up.
  • Scissors
  • Straight Edge - Like a ruler, for shaping the sugru.

hi apocello, I love your hack, and that you repaired a cable at the same time. I posted a monitor hook hack yesterday as well !!!! Although I got quite carried away ;)

I have to thank you guys for your product, it helped me save my wife's expensive laptop from becoming scrap.
