iMug iPod Holder

Step 2 Creating the earphone holder (optional)

If you want to be able to hold your earphones nice and neatly, this is the step for you!

First find a tough and thick piece of plastic / whatever you have laying around. I used a car soap bottle, feels about 1/4th inch thick (very difficult to cut) which means it will stand up to the wear and tear. To make something that the earphones will wrap around I used a milk carton (thin, flexible) and made a spool with both pieces. What makes this spool unique is that it will be hidden under the mugs cap with 4 holes in it and slits so the wires can slip in but not out easily so it will be held. It is difficult to explain with words so I'll try to explain with pictures down below.
When you glue it to the lid make sure its on there securely so it wont rattle or fall off.

I ended up not using this in my mug what I did was to just wrap them around my pointer and middle finger to form a loop and just putting them in the crack where my iPod wasn't, outside of the felt where the strap begins (area where there isn't Velcro).
