Our featured blah this week is the name tag, this plastic fella with a metal clip that's a personalized freebie in every meeting & conference we are sent to attend. I got the inspiration to turn this blah into a Tada! from this month's issue of ReadyMade Magazine, specifically in the MacGyver section. It challenges everyday people like us to convert a humble object into a thing of beauty using our creative super powers. Wearing my mask & cape (homemade, of course!), I respond to the call of duty...
It's proudly made of recycled materials like cardboard & a catalogue cover, put together using a pair of scissors & glue. It's attached to the door using double-stick tape and the sign can easily be switched into a new one: "The Doctor is Out", "Meeting in Progress", "Do Not Disturb", "Will Return After 1:00 PM", depending on whose office it is. Simply insert a new sheet into the slot.
Oh I love this! Great idea! They're also good to lable bins.. Just slip in the paper and clip!
