Lego Connection Dongles
This is inspired by my last Instructable, Bluetooth Lego brick.
It is designed to connect your gadgets (USB drive, wallet, keys, phone, pen-knife, etc) to one another, and you can make a connector with a clip.
It is very easy, and looks quite sleek. Will earn you many 'Geek Points'

Drill
Using the drill, drill two holes roughly halfway as in the picture.
There isn't really any need to measure it out, but you can if you feel the need to.
Clean the holes out with a knife.

String It
Post the string through one of the holes, tie an overhand knot, with as little 'tail' as possible. Post the other end through the gadget you want to attach, and post through the other hole. Tie another knot.
Tip: Use the lighter to melt the end of the string, then cut the solid bit small enough to fit through the hole.
