We're already big fans of anything that corrals our cord clutter, but we can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this very clever DIY earbud owl.


The earbud owl works under the same principle as a few of our previously posted earbud de-tangling tips, but this smart little DIY melds form and function like none other. The design template is available as a download from Thingiverse; once you've got it, all you need is a laser cutter (you've got a few of those lying around in your junk drawer, right?) and something to cut. The Thingiverse design shows an earbud owl cut from plastic, but we really appreciate the rustic woodcut pictured. Either way, this is one impressive but relatively simple DIY.
