After looking on BoingBoing, I noticed a "Fetus Cookie Cutter" and was instantly amazed. For a while, I've been enthralled with the fetus shape and pattern. Then I took a look at my jumpdrive; it was naked. It had no housing. They build things so cheap these days. So, I decided to make a Fetus Jumpdrive!

Step 1: Get the baby making materials.

You'll need a couple of things, most of which you probably already have! All of the materials are super cheap.

Pink Felt - At Joann Fabrics, an 8 by 11 piece of pink felt is 25 cents.

Black Felt - You won't need a full square, just some scrap will do. If you don't have any, sharpie?

Polyfill - Used for stuffing. If you don't have any, you can use some stuffing from an old pillow or stuffed animal which reminds you of your ex.

Heat n' Bond (optional) - It is mainly used for attaching fabrics (like the eye) to others. It's kind of like an iron on transfer. If you don't know how to use this, ask the people at Joann's (where I learned). Honestly, you don't really need it. It just makes it easier. You could use thread and needle to sew on the eye.

Thread - Preferably pink.

Needle - Preferably pointy.

Pins - Preferably not the ones used for dissections.

Hot glue and gun - It's the easy way out.

Old Jumpdrive - Preferably without the housing (case) it came in. Those things break off too easy. If for some unfortunate reason your jumpdrive is still in tact, just remove the casing by sliding down a screwdriver in the side (careful!), and popping it off.

Iron - If using heat n' bond

What would make this even better is if you used some of that red plastic goo thats used on fabrics, and made an umbilical cord, OR dunked certain parts in brown and red. Make a bit more morose!

Haha I love this! My friend peter and I love dead baby jokes so I think I'll make him this for christmas!  i might take the flashdrive out of the fetus' butt though and leave it a stuffed fetus. =]

p.s. how many babys does it take to paint a wall?

Whats worse than a dead baby in a mailbox?.... a dead baby in a thousand mailboxes

infernisdiem in reply to XxkillthelightsxXFeb 23, 2010. 10:26 AM
to answer your question.... depends on how hard you throw them :D how many babies does it take to shingle a house?

This is somewhat disturbing. Somewhat.
Doctor What (author) in reply to GorillazMikoDec 7, 2009. 9:05 PM
Aww... Just somewhat?
geekdude says: Jul 30, 2009. 12:31 PM
why would you spend the time to make something like this? are you hopeing to spark up awkward conversations about abortion?
Doctor What (author) in reply to geekdudeNov 28, 2009. 11:09 PM
Nope, I just like creeping people out.  The fun conversations about abortion are an unexpected bonus.

oh my god oh my god OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! XD DEAD BABIES!!!! i love this. great instructable. and i'm not talking about quality really, mostly just the fact that you taught me how to make a fetus to hang in my locker at school... :D great job!!
TimTheScarecrow says: Jun 18, 2009. 11:02 PM
im gonna use this design and idea to make a plain old stuffed fetus. this is great and wicked funny. good job
C17H19NO3 says: Nov 24, 2008. 7:23 AM
look I'm really sorry but this is downright inhumane. If you made one of a deer fetus and sold them, PETA would be all over you for it, so why are human fetuses any different?
John Smith in reply to C17H19NO3Mar 10, 2009. 1:04 PM
because human fetuses look badass and because no self respecting person gives a shit about what peta says cool instructable
Doctor What (author) in reply to C17H19NO3Feb 10, 2009. 7:40 PM
Because PETA believes humans aren't animals. We're disposable!
dmnhunt3r in reply to Doctor WhatApr 5, 2009. 1:07 AM
didnt PETA forget to feed a few hundred animals? and what does PETA mean? people eating tasty animals?
C17H19NO3 in reply to Doctor WhatFeb 21, 2009. 4:15 PM
mhmmm. Of course this planet belongs to 'nature' and not us. They forget that we are part of nature....

I had to register purely to comment on this. I think this is absolutely brilliant, and any naysayers can stick it. It's witty, it's clever, entirely well done, and I love it. If I had any sewing skills, I'd make a zillion of these and hand them out to people. I love it! Fantastic job. =)
deph_tek in reply to InsaneAsylumFeb 9, 2009. 9:14 PM
I totally agree.
Doctor What (author) in reply to InsaneAsylumDec 28, 2008. 7:42 PM

The fetus cookie cutter, which is way better. Cannibalism!

Hmm .. tasteless and inventive. I like it. But I think mine will have a USB-extension cord protruding from its belly instead ]:)
Doctor What (author) in reply to omnibotNov 21, 2008. 5:45 PM
After I made it and showed it to a couple people, I got that same response! I might put that as an afterword...
omnibot in reply to Doctor WhatNov 26, 2008. 11:40 PM
Do it.
