Step 2Option A: using the outer casing of the USB flash drive.
This is the easiest option for most models of USB flash drive, but it will result in a slightly more bulky pendant. I used this option on an Intenso Slim Line USB drive.
Sliding the USB connector out allowed to saw the casing in two halves without touching the actual flash drive part. Actually breaking of the slide button with a small screwdriver would have made life easier by taking the flash drive part completely before sawing. The slide button It needs to be removed of anyway.
Do saw the casing in two equal halves as you will not be able to see the saw line when cutting the polymer clay layer. If you would choose 1/3- 2/3 for example, you could end cutting up the wrong 1/3. Cutting halfway will always be close enough to the saw line.
Make the piece of wood to the same size and shape of the inner part and assemble the casing halves on it. Close the holes with masking tape.
