Greeting cards can be made from recycled materials. In this card making we need floppy disk as material. The movable record player greeting card is made from an upcycled floppy disk.
The disk part of a floppy disk is like a record, you need a little time to turn it to a turntable greeting card. The good news is that your handmade greeting cards are assembled with brads. It makes the record spins and the player arm moves too.For this card making project you’ll need:
* an old floppy disk
* a screwdriver
* scissors
* hole punches
* blank greeting cards or cardstock to make your own
* small brads
* cardstock or corrugated paper for the record player arm
* embellishment items: stamps, collage paper, glue stick, etc.
Start by busting into the floppy disk. Pull off the protective flap and slide the screwdriver between the plastic sides and twist to pop it open.
You’ll just be using the magnetic disk itself.
Lay the disk on the card and mark spots in the middle of the disk and where the arm of the record player will be located.
Punch these with small holes. You can use a narrow punch like this one, a darning needle, or whatever else you have handy.
Attach the disk to the card with a brad. I like to punch a larger circle of paper to go between them.
Cut a thin strip of stiff paper to be the arm of the turntable. Punch a small hole in one end and attach it with the second brad.
