Floppy Disc Card .x.

Do you have old floppy discs lying around & not having any use for them anymore because you've become more high-tech?

Well you can use them to make cards or to write letters (:

Here's how you do it :

First , you start off by taking the floppy disk apart. Which is easy to do ; just pull out the protective flap & everything else will come off easily .

When it's done , you'll have pieces like the ones in the picture .
This part depends on if you want to use the disk or if you want to use paper .

I decided to go with the disk , so I used it to draw a circle & then cut it out .

I also included the hole in the middle ( so the metal part can be seen ).
Use glue & stick the paper onto the disk .
& it'll look like this (:
You can either write your letter/note before or after sticking it on .
Now for the cover , you can do it up anyway you want to .
The cover of the disks are easily attached . Just press them together , they fit back like a puzzle .
This is just an example of mine ;
- I used red paper as a label & added a heart sticker onto the protective flap .
I made a floppy disc pixellette to attach to the card ( just because I wanted a little something extra ) .
Insert the disk with your note in it back into the covers & then put the protective flap back on . And you're done :D
Note : These make excellent cards/gifts for tech-savvy people / computer geeks :D
