# Decorative Pointy Elf Ear Bud Holders

## Overview

We were inspired by Elf Earbuds - we designed our own and made them so you can slip them on your existing earbuds.

These can fit most earbuds with a similar style.

We 3D printed it in NinjaFlex so the earbud has a nice grip when you press it through the loop.

This features a tapered edge so the earbud stays in place.

## Flexible Wearable
These can be fitted over your ear and wrap around the back.

Printing these in flexible filament makes them comfortable and easy to wear. 

We’re still able to use the earbuds built-in controls so you can still use them normally.

## Customizible 
We think these would be really cool for anyone who’s into cosplay or if you just wanna casually wear them.

You can print them in all sorts of different colors so you can match skin tones or whatever you like!

We hope this inspires you to try out some flexible filament and make some creative flair for your favorite gadgets!
