Back to School sneaks up on me every year. The Summer just flys by But I love getting the kids ready for going back to school. Do you remember how fun it was to get new school supplies and clothes? I can even remember all the smells of going back to school.
I was inspired by my 2 youngest boys. They love Legos. My youngest just can’t get enough of them. Both of them are always coming up with these incredible designs, so I thought I’d take a clue from them and come up with some Lego Back to School designs of my own. How about a Lego flash drive?
It was simple enough to do. Just take the outer plastic covering off the flash drive and you end up with just the (guts).
Build a Lego design to fit around the flash drive. The tighter the fit the better. Just because I think it looks better.
Slide the flash drive in the Lego cover.
And use a tiny bit of super glue to hold it in place.
Pretty nifty! Don’t ya’ think?
And since they love Legos so much I thought they could use some magnets and push pins to hang up all the school papers they bring home.
I just used E6000 and glued the magnets
And push pins on. Aren’t they cute? Now I just need to think of some other fun things to make with Legos. That is if the boys will let me borrow a few more.
This is awesome, Leanne! I love it! And those magnets and pushpins are super cute, too. Great project 🙂
I have been waiting seemingly FOREVER for this post… haha jk. I LOVE this idea, and am so glad you are smart enough to know how to do it. I’m making this for my little brother as we speak…well maybe not right now, but you get the point. 😉
I think you better just go buy your own legos- I’m pretty sure the boys are going to wise up to the fact that your “borrowing” turns into keeping! 😉 And I don’t blame you- these are pretty cute. I am seeing lego decor in my boy’s future too. 🙂

What an awesome idea! My grand-munchkins aren’t quite ready for flash drives, but I’ll make the magnets for sure! I found you at Gwenny Penny. I’m a new blogger, please stop by and say hello.
Way cool!!! What kid wouldn’t love this? I also love the magnets and pushpins!
This is sooo cool! I have a few nephews who’d love one.
I am gonna have to make the flashdrive for my geeky brother that adored legos growing up. What a fantastic idea. Thanks ‘sew’ much for posting it. Awesome! Visiting from Show and Tell Wednesday.
This is so fresh and funny! I love it, I can’t wait to make my own lego usb driver!!
Thanks for sharing! 😀
Awesome idea! Finally a use for the legos I confiscate from bedroom floors.
This is so clever! What a great idea–and super cute! Thanks for linking up @ Show & Share!
This is so cool! Pretty sure my hubby would love this! I would love it if you would share this and/or any other projects you have been up to at Tuesday Talent Show at Chef In Training! Thanks so much and I hope to see you there!
