Trick To Banish Earbud Tangles

It’s handy to stash your trusty earbuds in your purse, but the wires inevitably end up jumbled. To the rescue: a wine cork! Simply poke a hole in one end of the cork with a small nail, then use a sharp knife to cut a narrow sliver out of the other end. Insert the earbud plug into the hole, wrap the wires around the middle of the cork and slide the ends through the sliver. The cork will keep the cord neatly in place, and it’s small enough to slip easily into your pocket or purse.
