Floppy Disk Pen Holder

Step 5 Finish Up

Then reach down into your box and finish tightening the bottom, snip off the ends and presto, a geek chic pen holder.

This pen holder has a much greater capacity than your standard store bought pen holder. It also has a much more stable base and is guaranteed not to tip over and scatter its contents all over your desk. So don't be nervous about putting your heaviest scissors in.

Well, I hoped you liked my first instructable! I enjoyed doing it.

Great idea

I don't know about genius, but thanks. Never thought something so simple would get such a big reaction.

What a great idea.  Only wish I'd spied it before I threw out a load of old floppies recently, but I know I still have a few somewhere lurking about, so I will definitely make some of these. I have a great skill for loosing pens and scissors etc. Thanks :-)

An excellent instructable, and an enjoyable, practical, sturdy finished project. I would avise only that people attempting this instructable not tighten the ties immediately. Keep it all loose until the end, then pull and snip. Also, I found it much easier to tie the bottom on, if I worked outside the four walls.

I am definitely going to do this. Thank you for posting it!

Thanks completegeek. Found about 50 floppies whilst clearing out and moving flat. Just made my first one of these pen holders. Very study indeed.
