Such a previously useful accessory, like a floppy disk, has become an absolutely useless thing today. But if you have several old floppy disks lying around, do not rush to throw them away:

• Take four floppy disks and melt holes in them - in each diskette there are four holes (two on the bottom and two on the sides).
• In the fifth diskette (for the basics), make eight holes.

Important! Heat the awl above the candle, while being careful.

• Form a cube from floppy disks without a top.
• Connect all parts with each other using a flexible wire, connecting its “tails” in the internal part of the structure.
