Floppy Diskettes

A little over 3 years ago I made some hanging photo ornaments from floppy disks. You can see the instructions and finished sample in my You Tube video:

I have a web page that goes into more details on the supplies: http://www.nachattin.com/artclephotornament.html

There are still quite a few diskettes hanging around my studio so I decided to surf and find some other projects. Here's a fun tutorial from Cut Out and Keep web site: It's a floppy diskette card designed by Harmini A.


I'd love to send some of these to friends. I can only imagine how long a diskette would take to break down in a landfill--so reusing them makes so much sense.

Here's a blog post that shows 10 ways to recycle floppy disks: http://www.noordinaryhomestead.com/10-ways-to-reuse-3-5%E2%80%B3-floppy-disks/

I designed some digital versions of cards featuring floppy diskettes that can be glued to the front of a floppy or just sent via email or Facebook.
