Poundland Pimped up Headphones

Pimped up Poundland headphones

My daughters love music (they get that from me). Their current favourite artists include Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Selena, Little Mix, Katy Perry, Jonas Blue….and the list goes on.

Recently we discovered Primark sold headphone splitter adaptors for £2.00. Not just that but they are heart shaped too. The idea of being able to download to a single media player and both girls can listen to the music is very appealing to me as it’s one less item to look after whilst we travel.

I decided to give the adaptor a go with the girls and whilst out and about I noticed poundland did some funky white headphones. Nothing posh. Just standard white headphones (retro style with over the head-band).

I got two pairs in the same colour (white) for the girls and plan to write their names on. Practical yet stylish. No more arguing over whose headphones are whose.

For this project I used:

Headphones (£1.00 per set from Poundland)

Mod Podge (yellow label=matte finish). I used literally a tiny amount and would say the cost was 25 pence. Clear nail varnish also works if you have that in your polish box (you could even use a glittery polish to add a bit of bling)

Sharpie marker pens (I have a huge collection so didn’t buy any extra for this project)

OR other permanent marker pens. The Works do affordable range of permanent marker pens too. Prices start at £2.00.

1) Give the headphones a wipe down
2) Plan your design and draw it onto the headphones. I find brighter colours work best.
3) Allow the design to dry completely to avoid smudging.
4) Give the headphones a coat of mod podge. Allow to dry completely and give it another coating.
5) Voila! Your headphones are ready to go.

You can also use fluorescent pens, glow in the dark pens or even metallic gold on black headphones.
