You will need...

-an eraser

-a fairly small USB thumb drive

-an X-Acto knife

-a pen or pencil

Take your pen or pencil and draw a line where the casing meets the eraser. This is the line we'll be cutting along.

With your X-Acto knife, cut through the eraser just before your cut-line. This ensures that the "cap" sits snugly in the casing.

Trace the mouth of your USB thumb drive onto the center of the "cap". Do the same for the "body".

Using your X-Acto knife, dig out a hole in both the "cap" and "body". The volume of the holes combined should be slightly larger than the volume of your drive, so that the eraser doesn't crack.
