ALTOIDS SPEAKERS Ingredients:
*Pair of old headphones
*2 playing cards Glue
*2 Altoids tins
*Electrical tape
Tools:
*X-acto knife
*Pin
*Awl
*Lighter
*Wire cutters
Recipe:
1. Dismantle the headphones and remove the speakers.
2. Use a pin to poke a small hole in each of two playing cards, then glue the speakers to the cards, lining up each speaker with the hole.
3. Use the awl to poke a hole in the back of each tin, then thread the speaker wire through the holes.
4. Reconnect the wires by twisting them together and burning the plastic coating off with a lighter. Then tape them off.
5. Place the foam padding from the headphones inside the tins, open side up, to cushion the speakers.
6. Trim the cards to fit inside the tins, place them inside (use glue if necessary), and crank it, dog. The sound is a little tinny, but loud enough for making out.
