Floppy Disk Perler Bead Coasters

"Good ol' Floppy Disks"  

    

 As a former grade 10 computer science student, my compsci teacher introduced to me the exciting world of computers, hardware, software, data and of course, ancient technology XD. Now I have to say, I really did not like a course all about computers and coding because I really had no interest in it and I am simply not good at math. Functions, loops, flowcharts, decisions, algorithms, complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)...that's literally all I remember from that course. WHY GUIDANCE, WHY? At least I got an 88% average with the help of some computer nerds...I mean enthusiasts... and I can make a picture appear and disappear using decisions on Visual Basic! Yay. At one point, my teacher started talking about memory devices including RAM, magnetic storage devices, DVDs, CDs, optical storage devices, hard drives, solid state storage devices and of course floppy disks! They were the most interesting looking things he had in the room because they were so colourful :D, but as I looked at these strange pieces of plastic that have also been lying in the old boxes of my parents' closet, I thought, "Hey, these make great coasters for my drinks!" So here you have it! If you don't have any real floppy disks to use as a coaster...make these!
