Making a USB-Highlighter/Pen/Marker

Making a USB-Highlighter/Pen/Marker
I created a USB-Highlighter for the purposes of my innovation class. I wanted to make a USB-Pen at first, but it was a bit difficult given the space constraints, so I ended up with a USB-Highlighter =)

Materials Needed
You would need:

- A highlighter (preferably a wide one)

- Filling Material, as needed
- Paint/Markers/Stickers; anything you could use to spruce up the final product

Like it! As soon as I saw it I thought, hmmm...add a battery fed led tp the cap and you've got a MacGyver tool to envy ...not that I can think of a single instance where you would need a highlighter, a usb stick and an LED light... maybe replace the highlighter with a key keeper... nvm I think i've been at work for too long

Could use more details on how you did Step 3. Seems to me that step 3 should be several steps. A great idea, however.
