8 / INSERT SCREW
The 6-32 screw should easily pop into the hole you just made in the
Velcro, with its thread gripping just enough to hold it in place. This will
make it easier to screw into the threaded holes you created earlier.4 / MARK UP SCREW HOLES
With the locations of the anchor points confirmed, place masking tape
over the spots. This will prevent scratch damage to your case if you slip
with the drill bit. Place a cross on the spot where you want to drill the hole.
5 / CUT TO SIZE
We’ve used a roll of double-sided Velcro, which can be cut to length.
There are various widths available, and we’ve opted for 16mm-wide
strips to create a neat look. Place the Velcro at your anchor positions to
judge the necessary lengths of your strips.
7 / PUNCH HOLE IN VELCRO
A leather hole punch offers the neatest way to create a hole in your
Velcro, and in a variety of sizes. Here we’ve used the 3mm punch in the
centre of the Velcro strap.6 /DRILLSCREWHOLE

yourcase, and a 2.5mm drill bit to create the hole. We can then create
a threaded hole by using a spare screw to tap into the hole with a
sturdy screwdriver.
9 / SECURE VELCRO TIES
With the hole tapped to size using a spare screw, and a screw inserted
into the Velcro tie, screw your contraption into the hole. You can now
repeat the process for your other ties and then tidy your cables.
