So I've been trying to figure out if I had a spare flash drive for installing Linux on when I suddenly realize I had a secret one that I totally forgot about. So I figured I'd share where I stored it with you guys!

 

Here are the images of it:

Maybe it is not most incredible work, but it is very effective! It is also very simply to make. All you need is playing cards, super glue, and an exacto knife.

 

Basically you just:

-Hollow out most of the cards (I used the borders around the face cards as my reference for were to hollow)

-Use one card as a base and glue it to the bottom while gluing the hollowed cards together.

-Have a whole card for the top cover.

 

Things to keep in mind/tips:

-the glue will expand the area between the cards a bit so only about 42-45 cards will fit so don't use them all.

-gluing on the inside means that cards look normal from the outside.

-gluing some of the middles you cut out (after cutting them down a little more to fit better) onto the lid card will make it so the lid doesn't just fall of when you take them out.

-putting cotton or tissue in with whatever you keep in there will keep it from rattling.

 

The storage area isn't that big but its great if you know you have a flash drive full of porn you didn't want anyone to see while you were in high school. <.<

 

or you know SD cards and other small things. Not to mention cards are like the least conspicuous thing in the world.

That's pretty cool. I might try it with some Mod Podge and sanding down the inside. Looks like it would fit a j or one hitter perfectly. >_>

This is where I'll hide my porn USB... 

 

But yeah this is pretty nifty, I saw a similar tutorial online where you used MTG cards and placed a sick with beads in between the cards to create a life counter.

I like it! I've seen similar things done with books, but I don't have the heart to cause intentional damage to a book.
