Just Coasters . . .


Here is the D.I.Y. Project I did this weekend...

The Recycled 3.5 Diskette Coaster.

I am sure everyone has a few of these obsolete data storage disks laying around their house that they no longer use.  How about turning them into a functional conversation piece for your next cocktail party.

This project is very simple.

What you will need:

* 3.5 Diskettes
* Self-Adhesive Natural Cork Liner
* Self-Stick Rubber Pads
* Large Coffee Mug
* Pencil
* Scissors


Step One - Clean 3.5 Diskette of any dust or dirt.


Step Two - Use the Pencil to trace the bottom rim of the Large Coffee Mug onto the Self-Adhesive Natural Cork Liner.


Step Three - Use Scissors to cut the Self-Adhesive Natural Cork Liner in the shape of the Large Coffee Mug you just traced.


Step Four - Peel and firmly stick the Self-Adhesive Natural Cork Liner to the top center of the 3.5 Diskette.


Step Five - Firmly apply 4 Self-Stick Rubber Pads to the bottom four corners of the 3.5 Diskette.


Step Six - Enjoy your new coaster!

Optional Conversation Piece - Leave any labels on the 3.5 Diskette that would indicate what was once stored on the diskette.
