They're fantastic material to work with. I had a couple of really old dead earbuds, and when I have old electronics that don't work sitting around, I have a habit of taking them apart and getting parts. But they're as flexible as string, but as strong as some wires, so they're really easy to work with.

Plus, they're pretty! The colors (which I assume are standard) I've gotten from old headphones are red, green, and copper.

Merry Christmas to you too!
