You’ve heard the saying “music soothes the soul” right? Music can help you feel more relaxed, lift your mood or conjure up memories or experiences that remind you of loved ones or extraordinary moments in time. I’ve partnered with Coca-Cola™ to share a fun and easy tutorial for a DIY Earphone Holder to help you take your mood boosting music with you no matter where you go!
It’s easy to get lost in the right music and use it to soothe your soul or get pumped up. Which is why I always carry my earphones with me. If I need an instant mood booster I can pop in my earphones, find the perfect tunes on my Shazam App and instantly re-frame my mood or situation. The only problem is my earphones were always getting tangled up or lost in the bottom of my purse. I upcycled an old mint container and created a DIY Earphone Holder that I can take with me wherever I go. It’s perfect for tossing in my purse or gym bag and will keep my earphones from being a tangled mess.
Here are the supplies you will need for this project:
- Old Mint Container
- Colorful Scrapbook Paper
- Modge Podge
- Paint Brush
- Earphones
First, clean your mint container and make sure it is completely dry. Remove the label from the top of the container.
Next, trace the shape and size of the container and use that as a template to cut out your colorful scrapbook paper. Paint a thin layer of Modge Podge on the back of the scrapbook paper and adhere it to the top of the mint container. Once you have attached the scrapbook paper to the top of the container brush a thin layer of Modge Podge on top of the scrapbook paper to help protect it and make it more durable.
Open your container and put your earphones inside.
Now you have a handy little container that you can toss in your bag and keep your earphones handy for whenever the mood strikes and enjoy a song. Speaking of songs, Coca-Cola wants you to “Share a Coke and a Song.” Head to your local Brookeshire’s and find the specially marked bottles of Coca-Cola with inspiring song lyrics and then download the Shazam App, available on iPhone and Adndroid devices, to get your Coca-Cola Share a Song.
Did you know that you can use your Brookeshire’s Your Points to save on fuel and groceries just by shopping with your registered Thank You Card? Every dollar earns one yourpoint and can save 10¢ per gallon on fuel for every 100 yourpoints or 5% off on groceries for every 500 yourpoints. Now that’s music to my ears!
Grab your DIY earphone holder, an ice cold bottle of Coca-Cola and make extraordinary memories wherever you go!

This seriously is the most clever idea. My headphones and other little cables are always getting mixed up in my purse. I need to do this. 🙂 {client}
Thanks Cristi, I’ve ruined quite a few pairs of earphones from being tangled up in the bottom of my purse or gym bag. This has really helped keep everything neat and tidy! 😉
Such a wonderful re-purposing idea. It’s a must make for me!
Thank you Abigail, let us know how it works for you.
Thanks! I can’t wait to try this. They really do always get tangled in my purse
Thank you Sarah, hopefully it will help you keep those ear phones tangle free. 🙂
Going home to make this tonight! Can’t stand the tangled wires in my purse. Would work with the charger too!
Yes, I think that’s a great idea to use it for a charger too, those things are always getting tangled up.
Great idea! Love it!
Thank you so much!
These are so smart! I love that you recycled/reclaimed something that normally gets thrown out. Thanks for sharing your post with us as #CCBG Creatively Crafty Link Party http://tryit-likeit.com/entries/link-party
