Floppy Disk Ikea Cabinet Pull Hack
Asked on Jan 25, 2017
My most unexpected repurpose project
+8
As I was cleaning out my father's office, I came upon a huge stash of old floppy disks - some of which were still unused. It seemed a shame to throw them away so I upcycled them into cabinet pull backers for my Ikea cabinet in the bathroom.
I used the metal disk part for this project and painted the middle orange to complement our wall colour. Now the pulls have more presence and help brighten a dull bathroom.
I'll be posting this and a few more floppy disk hacks on my Hometalk page at Birdz of a Feather soon !
Brilliant! You gave it new life!
not exactly sure this makes a whole lot of dif. not real noticeable to me.
not exactly sure its worth the trouble?
My son started a great idea for old CDs or DVDs that we have adopted....Just stick one over any nail used for hanging up items in the garage, SO much easier to locate them and 0 effort!
Some people take some of those floppy disk or else CD that are too scratch to play again with contact paper & use them as coasters in their rooms.
Umm, what does Floppy disk look like? What do they look like?
Clara - I've attached a picture for you. The part in the centre is what I used.
This is so smart!!
