Working Holiday

No reason the office has to have a bah-humbug attitude through the holidays. Have a little fun with a few office supplies and bring some cheer to your cubicle!

 

Dotted line

To make this dotty garland, stick two round self-adhesive labels back-to-back, sandwiching thin string between them. To keep a long strand from tangling as you work, make 2- to 3-foot-sections, then join the sections with a pair of dots.

 

Air mail

Send those Santa letters straight to the tree. Type up wish lists or recycle past Christmas letters, folding them into paper airplanes to tuck into the boughs.

 

Shred no doubt

Shredded paper yields a whimsical substitute for foil tinsel. Place paper strips on newspaper in a well-ventilated area. Give the strips a misting of silver spray on one side. Drape the shreds on the tree.

 

Getting pushy

This sparkly ornament is made from common pushpins. Insert clear pushpins in a circle around the middle of a 3-inch-diameter plastic-foam ball, then add rows to cover the ball. A bent silver pipe cleaner forms the hanger.
