Floppy Disk Pen Holder

Step 3 Piece it Together

I find it easier to lay the 4 disks that will make up my sides with the side I want facing the outside down.
Now it's time to use your zip ties! Feed the ties through the what will be the inside of your pen holder and then loop them through the adjacent disk, linking them together on the inside. Continue looping your ties until you have formed a square.
Putting on the bottom of your pen holder is much easier if you tighten all the ties on the sides and snip off the ends.

I waited to connect the fourth side until after I attached the bottom to those three sides. My thinking was that it would be easier to work on those if it was still opened up. I suppose I should try it both ways to confirm that suspicion, but I wanted to put that suggestion out there anyway.

I covered my floppies with a map to make it more decorative - I have a bigger photo over at Flickr (username: cazatoma) but can't figure out how to make the flickr import option work...

I would just like to reiterate a point: DO NOT CUT THE CABLE TIES YET.

I just did this, then moved to Point 4 and am currently thinking "bugger, where's the glue?"

I should have added that the ties can be quite sharp. Sorry for the omission.
