For creative, cost-conscious, and nimble-fingered folks desk accessories can be created using the Japanese art of origami. The best part of creating your own origami desk accessories is that they are easily customizable depending on the color, size, pattern, and texture of paper you select. Now you can create cute paper clip boxes and adorable pencil boxes for the price of paper… and hopefully minimal blood, sweat, and tears (watch out for paper cuts!!). Visit the Origami Resource Center for directions on how to construct up to 50 different types of boxes. From the “Fancy Box” to the “Star Box” you’re sure to find a box to suit your tastes. Happy Paper Folding!

There’s no easier way to communicate, “While I may be in a cubicle now, I’ll soon be in the corner office” than by adorning your cube with well-engineered, sleek, stainless steel desk accessories. The leading designer in the stainless steel craftmanship is none other than a German company called SKS Design and the line is called Blomus. Each Blomus designed piece appears to be a modern piece of art and is designed with a simplistic, yet functional flair. While the line is a bit pricey (we’re talking in the range of a $55 stapler), it may be worth the price for the type of statement you’ll be making around the office. Now your only problem will be vying with your tape dispenser for your coworker’s attention.
