Steps

1. Take the case off of the USB Stick.
2. Depending on the size of stick you may have to sand off the edges of the circuit so it will fit inside of the lego brick.
3. Cut out the inside of a 2x4 Lego brick.
4. Cut some of the bottom of the brick off so that the brick is the size of two flat 2x4 pieces stacked on top of each other.
5. Cut a slot in the front of the brick for the metal plug to fit through.
6. Glue the bottom of the lego case on. The bottom is just a flat 2x4 lego piece. (you may need to sand the bumps off if your usb stick will not fit inside with the bottom on.
7. The cap is a 2x2 brick sanded so that it is the size of two 2x2 flat pieces stacked on top of each other.
8. Cut out a slot of the 2x2 brick.
9. Glue the bottom the cap on which is a 2x2 flat lego piece.

Tips

• If the USB stick is loose then use some type of packing (sellotape).
• If you use a knife to cut the bricks be careful not to cut the brick too small.
• Try this with a cheap usb memory first stick because you may mess up and have to throw the stick away.

Warnings

• In the process of sanding the circuit board you can ruin the usb memory stick, thus making it not work.
• If you cut the brick too small then you have ruined the brick and will have to throw it away.
• When cutting the lego brick be careful because you might cut yourself.
