I had a bunch of USB drives lying around that I got at conferences and other events. The casings weren't very nice, so I removed them to turn them into something that looked better. When I saw the circuit boards, I thought of the clock I have that used to belong to my grandfather. I love the look of the exposed circuits, so I decided to try and recreate that with these USB drives.
I've never cast epoxy before, so it was a bit of trial and error, but I figured it out in the end. I really like how they turned out. The epoxy is super clear and I love how they light up when they're in use!
What you'll need:
- old USB drives with the casing removed
- something to use as a mould
- epoxy resin
- digital scales
- gloves
- sandpaper up to 800 grit
- spray lacquer
- super glue (to fill any gaps)
- exacto knife (to trim the edges)
If you make one of your own, I'd love to see it! Send me a picture on Instagram @craftswithellen.
