Re-purposing Craft Project In The Office

Re-purposing Craft Project Done at Your Workstation
By Catherine Ratliff 1/8/15





     I was gifted a new polka dot block Memo Cube (The MOE3 line) by Jackie Shapiro.

     This item was purchased at Michaels crafting store. But, I’m betting you can find them almost anywhere. However, they may be manufactured by a 

different company. Ultimately, they will have the same benefit. When you need a piece of paper to jot down an important note, it fits the bill. 










     This particular block memo cube comes in different colors. It has 600 pages that form a colorful polka dot design once all sheets are shrink-wrapped or pushed together. A beautiful bright red bow was tied around it with a pastel blue ribbon. 

     The first thing I did was detach the ribbon off the back of the memo cube. 










     Then, I took a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon off. The bow 
was glued to the ribbon. I was careful not to cut the bow away from the ribbon. 

     Once the ribbon was separated from the ribbon, I tied the ribbon around the phone’s receiver. The receiver was placed on its back as I tied the flower to it. The flower was set so that when I hung up the phone it was displayed for all to see. I tied the ribbon in one knot. Of course, there was excess ribbon left to hang that protruded from behind the receiver once I hung it up. So, tying it into another knot and tucking it as clever as possible was my best option. I have really clumsy round fingertips. Whoaaaa! You can tie yours up as clever as you see fit so that it is not left to protrude once you hang up your receiver. 


     Now you can use the attached pin and start using your memo block. Write something interesting!!!

Voila! You are done. Easy as green peas. 


     It’s a cute sight for sore eyes. My first client to use it was impressed. Perhaps Cisco Systems will come out with its new floral design in the future for the women or pinstripe floral design for the men, too. :) Hey, I won't leave anyone out. 

 It’s all in good fun.
