Step 1Materials
I used a lot of junk that I've been saving up, quite a few things were torn asunder to create this.
SNES Cartridge
Plexiglass picture frame (with two right angle edges, 4x6 frame)
(On-off switch, - and + battery connections for two AAA batteries, red and black wires. I got all of these from one of those Plug n Play tv games.)
Clamshell eyeglass case (for the hinge only, so if you have a long thin hinge, go you.)
Videogame greeting card WITH SOUND! (This is important for one of the extras)
LEDs (got them from a Christmas light set, color optional, I went with white, used for second extra.)
Spare keys (for the third extra)
THIN USB thumb drive (for the third extra, capacity is optional)
Screw and bolt set (Screw needs to be slim enough to fit in the eye of your key)
Velcro
Elastic
String
Needle
Gorilla brand IMPACT TOUGH super glue (THIS IS IMPORTANT! Try not to use anything but this unless you are 100% positive you have a better working glue! This glue has rubberized elements that, as the name implies, absorbs impacts! Much like the constant getting up and setting down actions we perform daily. It also bonds to the plastics and metals we'll be working with!)
Piezo speaker (You know, the kind that is about as thick as a sheet of cardstock paper, for first extra, though if you don't have many cards you MIGHT be able to get by with a thin one, but I would still advise against it.)
Industrial (optional, normal may work) strength snaps.
Tape (clear, electrical, and painter)
Dremel with various cutting, drilling, and sanding bits
Soldering iron
Electrical solder
Pliers, (regular and needle nose)
Wire snips
Wire stripper if you really want to use it, I used my...
Exacto knife
Lighter
Pepsi or coke bottle
pen for marking
1 or 2 card sleeves
Ruler (6 inches will be plenty)
Dummy card (a card that will fill in for your other cards but you don't really need anymore, in case something goes... awry... I used a hotel door card.)
Money Clip (hard plastic or uncoated metal is good)
Sandpaper (normal and fine grit)
Parchment paper (the kind for cooking with that waxy side, not the old paper for writing kind)
A flat surface
and two AAA batteries to power it all.
