Recycle old floppy discs and make them into interesting crafts such as a floppy disk laptop bag, colorful picture frame, pend holder, and supply candy or desk organizer. If you've several unused diskettes piled up in your floppy disk holders in your house and the only option you must deal with them is to dump them to the trash can, why not reuse them instead and utilise these things to make awesome floppy disc crafts? Here are several fun and creative projects you can do using your floppies: Pen holder Floppy disks can be made into special pen holders that you can place on your study desk or on your workdesk in the office. You just need 5 diskettes and some adhesive. To start off, lay a single floppy disk over the work surface. This is the bottom for your pen holder. Collect the 4 other floppy disks around the four corners of the foundation in a standing posture. Ensure that it appears to be a cube with an open top. Glue the corners hooking up each one of the discs and let the adhesive dried up before use. You may utilize floppies in different colors so that either side of the pen holder is distinct from the other. Supply caddy or desk organizer If you want a bigger type of the floppy disc pen holder that can keep not just your pens or pencils but your bills, sticky notes, or any other office supplies too, you could make a supply basket or workdesk organizer. You'll need at least 20 diskettes and glue. To begin with, create the base of your organizer by using 6 floppies, putting them flat on a worktop in two rows with 3 disks in every row. Be sure that your layout is straight using a square ruler. Glue all the sides to attach them together. Place and glue 10 other floppy disks around the bottom in an straight position. These will be the sides of your basket. Now, see how many dividers you want your organizer to have. Make use of the remaining floppy disks as partitions in your organizer by sticking rows of standing disks in the middle of the organizer. You can also make a pen holder inside the caddy by designing a square partition in one side. Floppy disk laptop case Diskettes could also be created into a very unique laptop case. You need forty two diskettes and some metal rings or zip ties. Place a row of 4 disks and attach them using the zip ties or metal rings. You do not have to punch holes into the floppy disks because they already have small openings in the sides. The sides of the bag must have a width of four disks and a height of three discs. Attach all the disks using the zip ties and metal rings. Do not forget to add a strap at the side of the bag. Colourful photo frame To create a photo frame out of diskettes, you'll need 16 floppy disks, string or yarn, and a ribbon. Shape a square framework using the floppy disks and attach them together with yarn and string. Get a photo and connect it at the back of the frame. Hang the frame on the wall by using a ribbon attached at the back of the frame. Recycling floppy disks helps Mother Earth, and by creating unique and interesting works of art with them you also have great gifts for your computer-enthusiast friends.
