Floppy Disk Pen Holders

Remember those floppy disks that revolutionized computer disk storage? You know, those square flexible disks that holds a whopping 512 bytes!? Yeah I still have a box of those that I really have no use for anymore. Well, instead of throwing them out, grab a couple of zip ties and turn them into a DIY pen holder that pays homage to the old school method of data storage!

Basically, drill a couple of holes into the disks, fasten them together with zip ties, and trim off extra length with scissors. You can also glue them together into a cute little storage box for stationary and such. Easy-peasy, with nifty results!

    this post made me randomly want to make my own floppy disk necklace a la Flava Flav except a floppy instead of a clock. Flava Kae!
