How To: Duct Tape USB Holder / Wallet

I’ve seen some USB holders at Staples and Office Max for over $20 dollars and that’s just for a fancy pouch to place your USB sticks while on-the-go.  What about a DIY duct tape USB holder?  You get the satisfaction of making it yourself, save yourself some cash and a hint of coolness to your storage devices.

Granted the duct tape approach is more in tune with kids, but lets give this a quick review.

In four simple steps you can do this exact project.

Step 1 – Grab some materials, that being a ruler, knife, duct tape, thumb drives and creativity.

Step 2 – Make the back plane duct tape which is very similar to making a duct tape wallet.

Step 3 – Add the pockets.  In the picture you can see the USBs are parallel with each other, I would recommend staggering them so the thickness is reduced when folding.

Step 4 – Put the finishing touches on there with some clean lines of duct tape, patterns and custom designs.
