Recycling Wire to Make Pendrive Dongles or Lanyards

Love to recycle and it will last 4ever.   I used an old wire harness for mine.

You will need some wire, solder, soldering iron, wire stripper, heat-shrink tubing, a heat gun or matches, and a pendrive

Cut wire to desired length and string through pendrive.   Short wire for dongle (around wrist) or lanyard (around neck).   I like the yellow and red wires.....pick your favorite color(s).

Cut a piece of heat-shrink tubing and slide over wire BEFORE stripping wire ends.  THEN strip the ends.

Make a lineman's splice as, illustrated by my crude drawing, with the two ends of stripped wire.

Solder the lineman's splice with a thin coating of solder.

Pull heat-shrink tubing over the splice and heat it up with heat gun or flame to lock into place.

Kick back, crack a cold one for a job well done
