Make a Floppy Disk Wall Clock

Step 4: Layout and Assemble Layer 2

Select the four floppies you want to use for the second layer.

In the layout I chose, I used 3orange and a red floppy.  I built my clock and then thought to do this instructable. I recreated my steps, but was fresh out of orange floppies, so in the example images I show tan floppies.

The second layer mounts to the back of the first layer.  This layer uses only 4 floppies because the center must be left open to allow room for the clock mechanism behind the center floppy and post hole.

Layout your 4 floppies around the outside of a 5th temporary floppy used for spacing.
Using your side cutters or similar tool cut 4 pieces of craft stick approximately 1.5 inches in length.

Using hot glue, attach the small paste stick pieces diagonally to attach the corners of the 4 floppies of your second layer. I glued the diagonal pieces on what would be the back, closest to the wall. Said another way,  I glued the diagonals on the side of the floppies that would not be facing forward.

This Take care not to glue anything to the center floppy, it's just there to allow the proper spacing of the other 4.
