Pimp Your SkullCandy

I found a really cool pin on Pinterest. Yes, I know it is not an original idea... I'm not stealing it... just sharing. I want to share for those of you who don't do Pinterest or haven't seen the pin, well...and to show off my SkullCandy. The blog with the original idea is Craft & Creativity.

I'm going to show you how to Pimp Your SkullCandy. Really it is just putting beads on your earbuds.

 My finished SkullCandy. 

What you need:

Earbuds (any kind will work)

If you use iPod earbuds, you might want to consider weight. I use SkullCandy because they stay in my ears when I'm working out. iPod earbuds get sweaty and slip out, so extra weight probably won't do you any good, if you use them to workout in.

Perler Beads

If you don't know Perler beads, well they are those beads you use on the little peg boards to make pictures, then melt them with an iron.

Use an exacto knife. It was easier to maneuver than a regular razor blade because of the pointed edge. You will use A LOT of beads and A LOT of time, but I think the end result is cool.

Put the beads on in your very own pattern with your own colors. You could even do a pair for every holiday. 

 TA-DA!!!

I am currently pimping my USB ports for my iPhone and Nook. Sweet.
