Ah, the cubicle, home to office workers all over. The bland colored fabric walls are frequently supported by solid metal that refuses to admit any sort of thumb tacks or pins. Whether you'd like to cover your corporate gray enclosure in important reference materials or just put up something a bit more colorful, here's how to do the job with an ordinary paper clip.
Steps
-
1Arrange a small, wire-loop paper clip as shown, so that there are two loops on top and one loop on the bottom.
-
2Twist the taller loop out to one side.Advertisement
-
3Twist the shorter loop out to the other side.
-
4If you would like a hook, bend the bottom loop up.
-
5Poke the loose ends through the woven fabric on the cube wall. They will sit flat against the impermeable metal below. You may have to put the taller end in first.
-
6Hang papers, photos, and postcards without puncturing them by slipping them under the "hook" portion. There is no need to bend up a hook if you are using this configuration.
-
7Hang calendars and anything else equipped with a hole by placing the hole over the hook.
