usb locket

Materials

  • A USB flash drive: they all come in different shapes and sizes, but we need one with a loop hole. I use this one from SanDisk
  • Neckace chain or cord
  • Optional: a pendant clasp if you want your USB to face a certain way

How to

  1. Plug in the USB to your laptop or phone and fill it with your files. It can be anything that reminds you of someone you love or a perhaps an (un)remarkable moment.
  2. Loop the necklace chain or cord through the hole in the USB.
  3. Wear it around with you wherever you go, except maybe to the shower or the beach
