Use the sandpaper or a file to sand down the marked area for the hole.
Check to make sure the flash drive will fit.

Step 4: Stick the USB flash drive down.

Once you have a big enough hole, use either glue, tape or blu tack to stick down the circuit of the flash drive on the inside on one of the tape sides, so the silver part sticks out of the side.

Step 5: Put the tape pieces together
