Banana to 3.5mm adapter plug

First step is to get some soft bodied 1/8" plugs.
This sort:

Unscrew the shell from the plug. Cut the flexible end off the shell,
just after the hexagonal body moulding. Cut the earth tag off the
plug, right near the threads. solder a 1" insulated wire to the
center pin of the plug and fold the tag flat over the center, making
sure you don't short it to the outer part of the plug. Take a Johnson
banana socket and fold the part of the tab with a hole in it back on
itself. Screw the shell back onto the 1/8" plug with your wire poking
out the end. There should be just enough length to be able to solder
the wire to the banana socket. Once soldered, push the banana socket
into the plug shell .

And there you have it.
