I said no to >1k requests to sell these I went viral for these headphones And the number one question I got was Is am I making them and selling them? Can you sell them? Girl I'm about to cash app and my address, lol Waiting on your website because I've never been good with my hands Can you make them? Unfortunately is the answer no So I wanna convince you that you can make them yourself Because the number one reason is because this is all about showing your personality From the colors, the charms, you, everything that you choose is supposed to be a reflection and so who would be better to do it than you? Secondly, I say this all the time but I DIY to intentionally disconnect... and you should too This takes two to three hours of your time max The repetitive nature of it really nice too because it really helps you kind of like zone out And this is something that I think is like good for you I know that sounds corny but I truly believe it And then last but not least is the economics behind it This takes two to three hours If I were to charge, what I believe my hourly rate should be to make this, you wouldn't buy it. It'd be too expensive. But instead you can pay $25 for the AirPods $10 for the string and make it yourself There's already companies selling them You can find them on Etsy, I heard Free People is selling them Feel free to buy them that way if you want Yeah, I do not plan on selling these. That's not what this page is about. It is about activities and cool ways for you to intentionally disconnect.
