How to DIY
This fashionable device can be made independently at home. It will reliably serve the creator or act as a practical, but creative gift from the trendy "hand made" direction.
Before you start creating a flash drive bracelet, you need to prepare the necessary tools and materials:
- Several different thread colors.The best option is to take three bright matching colors 12-15 meters long
- Flexible yet durable cardboard
- Adhesive tape of two types (transparent and industrial)
- Glue ("Moment", "Superglue", thermal gun, etc.)
- Convenient scissors
- Ruler
- A small flash drive such as the Verbatim TUFF 'N' TINY USB Flash Drive.
First you need to measure the length of your wrist and cut out a double strip of cardboard equal to the resulting length plus 1 cm. Glue the edges of the strips, leaving two sides intact: on one side you need to insert and glue the USB flash drive, on the other - its cover. For strength, it is better to wrap this blank with a layer of industrial tape. After that, we gradually and carefully wrap the cardboard blank with colored threads. From the top side, beads, beads or fun pendants can be added to the threads so that the flash drive wears an exclusive style and conveys the user's inner state. After finishing the winding with a thread of one color, you need to fix its end with transparent tape and start winding with a different color. After full winding, glue the thread and enjoy the result.
