Teddy Bear USB Flash Drive (USBear?)

Plain old flash drives are boring. Which is why I decided to sacrifice a teddy bear and make a more interesting one. When put together, it looks like your average teddy bear. Pop off the head, stick it in your computer, and you have a really funny data-storing USBear.

I first saw this wonderful idea here and decided I would try my hand at making it. You can even buy these now. But making it is more fun. And less expensive.

I used an old teddy bear and a 4Gb flash drive. Make sure that the bear is small enough to be practical and that the flash drive is large enough to be practical and has a cap.

You will need:

1 Teddy Bear
1 Flash drive with cap
Hot Glue Gun & Glue
Sewing Needle
Thread (color of bear)
Sewing scissors

Haha I bet some of the girls will squeal when I go to rip a teddy bear's head off and then plug his body into my laptop to gather vital data.

vkyo says: Feb 15, 2011. 6:20 AM

Just kidding. I'm gonna make myself one of these sometime soon. 32GB teddy bear :D

hahahaha, especially love the cute ...hanging-out-of-the-drive... look

funny

I have a morbid sense of humor. When I finished mine I noticed that the USB could still be seen. So I tied a small hangman's noose and glued it to his body and a dot on the back part of his head, so now the head is on a sort of hinge. I think it is rather funny.

misteravocado5 (author) in reply to EGT1984Oct 31, 2010. 2:40 PM

Haha that looks great. Just in time for halloween, too.

Holcan says: Jul 22, 2010. 6:58 PM

Apple_4_life says: Jul 2, 2010. 5:27 PM

Awesome! ya know what would make it more eye catching? adding fake blood around the neck! yes i know its violent, but my mind works that way

liam01 says: Jul 2, 2010. 3:13 PM

This is awesome!

northernmagnet says: Jul 2, 2010. 6:37 AM

misteravocado5 (author) in reply to northernmagnetJul 2, 2010. 7:17 AM

Now someone definitely has to make a USB Ear.

northernmagnet in reply to misteravocado5Jul 2, 2010. 8:16 AM

well that would be gross and illegal... oooooooo pick me (not)

misteravocado5 (author) in reply to northernmagnetJul 2, 2010. 8:26 AM

I'm sure you can find a fake ear somewhere... now you've got me thinking.

northernmagnet in reply to misteravocado5Jul 2, 2010. 9:45 AM

Aww poor teddy (this is so funny)!

Kaelessin says: Jul 1, 2010. 5:37 PM

heh heh! this is cute and grisly (pun intended) at the same time! how heavy is the bear? i would imagine that that would put a bit of torque on the usb port of your laptop no?

misteravocado5 (author) in reply to KaelessinJul 1, 2010. 5:49 PM

Since it's only filled with cotton balls and little plastic beads, it's really not that bad. As long as the bear is small enough, it should work. The flash drive is pretty firmly in there, so mine holds just fine. I dod wonder about that in the beginning, but no, it hasn't been a problem. (If it is, you can still use it on laptop on a flat surface, as in the second and third picture).
