Christmas Bow / Flower from Floppy Disks

I've got a lot of floppy disks sitting around. I finally decided they were never going to be used because I don't have a floppy drive. So I began trying to figure out how to use them.

As Christmas is coming super soon, I thought it would be a great idea to make a bow for one of my siblings who loooooves computers.

It takes about fifteen minutes, looks great and can be used on many other things. If you spray paint it, it doesn't have to stay black. It makes a great flower.

Step 1 Materials

For this Instructable, you will need:

4-5 Floppy disks (I used 5)
1 Paper Fastener (Or you could just glue gun it all together)

One Glue gun
Scissors

An awesome idea for "re-purposing" something that might otherwise end up in a landfill.  Great instructions, too.
