How to Make Vocaloid Magnet Headphones

Step 1: Print out templates
I found some very helpful templates online for the butterfly and circle design. I uploaded them below, and also links to them.

Step 2: Cut out shapes
Cut out 4 butterfly templates on black craft foam.
I used this stick tool to outline the shapes in the butterfly wing. It helped me see it better.
Then I used a box cutter to cut out the shapes. Do this for all 4 pieces if you want to do the transparent version like mine. You only need to do 2 cut out pieces if you are using regular colored paper (the backside can be solid).
Step 3: Add your color and glue it together
I wanted my butterfly pieces to be transparent, so I bought colored plastic folders. I cut out the butterfly shape in the hot pink color.
I used a glue gun to glue the 3 pieces together. Do it again for the 2nd wing.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
For the circles, I used Thick 6mm black craft foam, cut out four 3 inch circles. I cut two smaller circles with the pink color, and printed out two even smaller circle design for the middle. See below.
I used the 6mm black craft foam and cut out two mic pieces. Added on shiny gold and red rectangle design. I painted a piece of florist wire black and sandwiched and glued it between these 2 mic pieces. This is also how it is attached to the two layer headphone circles.
Optional: I added rhinestones to add some bling :)
Step 5: Attaching headphones
There are several ways you can make the headphones. I would suggest a headband. Before gluing the 2 thick circles together, stick a headband right in between them, and use hot glue to secure the sandwich. Other methods could be gluing real headphones, or hair clips.
A mini top hat tutorial will be coming soon!
