First you need to measure your wrist length and cut a double strip of cardboard equal to the resulting length plus 1 cm. Glue the edges of the strips, leaving two sides intact: on one side you need to insert and glue the USB flash drive, on the other - its cover. For strength, it is better to wrap this blank with a layer of industrial adhesive tape. After that, the cardboard blank is gradually and carefully wrapped with colored threads. On the top side of the thread, you can add beads, beads or fun pendants so that the flash drive wears an exclusive style and conveys the inner state of the user. After the end of the winding with a thread of one color, you need to fix its end with transparent tape and start winding with another color. After full winding, glue the thread and enjoy the result.
