Cute Boxes from a recycle calender

Hi,

This time I'm making six cute box from a recycle calender paper.

Here is the size if you planning in making it too...

Base:
Length - 7 cm
Width - 4 cm
High - 4 cm

Top:

Length - 7.2 cm (depends on the thickness of the paper)
Width - 4.2 cm (depends on the thickness of the paper)
High - 2 cm

If you read this blog, you'll know that I'm busy with 5S project. Click here for most of the postings. Urg.. I receives lots of complains from people around the board (not people around me who watched me doing this thing in crazy short time) and the complains are:

1.Not following the theme i.e. peach - they don't know that I'm crazily search for a peaches background in a limited time around Putrajaya and we failed to find it. After a thorough discussion with my colleagues and boss, we decided to use a silver background and try to imply the peaces in other printouts design. So, I'm not making this decision alone! The theme I'm choosing is simple clean to emphasis the information in the board. So, I try to minimalist fancy colors and using a peach and some color that match with it. If looking at the board of course you won't look it is peaches unless you just paint all the wall and print anything in peach!

2.I've meet with coordinator to decline the task as a leader but only as a team members knowing that my design won't be accepted by people who limited themselves with standard design, complicated and expected it become something soooooo amazing. Nevertheless, my resigning was not approved. What to do.

3. They said the board has no border. I've said to most important people doing this project that I'm focusing on the information, not the border or what so ever. But these people who didn't know everything keep complaining!

4. They complaining that the board I'm using is not good for a our 5S board. FYI, I'm using a soft boards, glued at the back two whiteboards. Now, they want to change it to a real board which I already requested earlier but was declined! After all effort I'm putting on it, they want to change it?

I'm not sure how to response in this issue. I've already discuss with my boss and she says it's better if we have a clear cut what they want and if anyone else want to be a leader. Since they love to complain instead of saying 'THANK YOU'.

Am I care if I'm not a leader of this board project? Hell no.. I'm doing this not for a name, but for the sake of the whole office. No competition. No self award. Nothing. I just love my office and hope we won't be penalised for not doing our project properly.

5S Board / Sudut 5S - after 3 tiring days

Hi,

Now I want to share what I've finished after a tiring days. I'm totally working hard for this board - non-stop brainstorming and late night sleep.

Last night I'm doing an Organization Chart with a heartache because some of the team provided their person-in-charge (PIC) list with a nick names. Hell, would they think I know all of our office staff? I can't sleep well because of the people pictures keep coming in my dreams. A lots of people faces really scared me! What a pressure night.

 Words cut from a pattered paper (MOOF)

(I outsourced this task to our trainee. huh)

No, I don't create the logo. It's someone else work!

My husband did the two items below.

Apps: Adobe Illustrator

Printer: HP Colour Printer

*Laminated*

 These too were my husband work.

He help me a lot!

 To fill in the empty spaces, I add some rectangles into it.

 Another tedious job with a small cut words. But this time I do it by myself since all other people were so buzy with their 5S too.

Patterned paper from Moof

 This is one of the time lines

  Unexpectedly, I do a flower from a tissue paper. 

Now, I do think it is weird to be in that board.

Tissue papers - Moof

Doily - Mydin

Fuh, what an exhausted day.

Sometimes my heart telling me to stop but I just keep working.

Ok, I'll update more about this project soon. I'll be missing in a few days as we were going to celebrate Aidilfitri in four days.

See you later

Doily Paper - Contributing to my 5S board

Hi,

Quick update now! Coz it's already 1.37 am and I'm just finished some of my 5S job.

I use a cute doily for our 5S board and it's totally feminine + pinky (although our theme supposedly is peach). Reason for pink? It give me the energy and cute attitude when time is running out. All of the sudden, the board need to completed immediately. Urg...I left some of the information required for the board and only focusing for the important info only.
Doilies is important right?

Ok here are the pictures. Please take note that the board is still in progress.

What is 5S? Please seek a help from Mr Google. Some of my team and my work was documented here under label 5S.

I'm so sorry that the quality of these pictures are not good as I'm using my phone camera. :)

Polystyrene Cutter Again

Hi,

Remember my posting about polystyrene cutter here?

Below are some of the outputs from the vintage cutter.

Okay, today I'm going to talk about polystyrene cutter again. I'm not sure why am I so into it but I definitely impress with this kind of machine.

Polystyrene cutter appeared today is so much new to me but it's not easy to use. Here is the cutter.

To use, you need to hold the cutter and click the switch and run through polystyrene. I said this is a hard tool because one hand you need to hold the cutter and the switch while the other hand you need to hold the polystyrene. You need to have a very stable and straight hand, if not the output will messy.

The advantage of this machine is, it's a portable and use battery instead of electric. When you leave the switch, the cutting wire immediately cold down which allow you to think and take a next steps/cuts.

This tool is most suitable if your design is complicated like a flower and so on.

Here are my work using this cutter. The words of this time is so much smaller than the words as above picture. I'm so stress out doing it. See that some of the word is at their worst quality. :O

Out of the topic, here is the progress from our Staff Movement Board under 5S project. Previously, I've post about the proposal for this board here.

Actually this is a magnetic item as we glued a magnetic sheet at the back of it like below picture. You can get the magnetic sheet here. The price is RM12 but if you are a member, you can get 10% discounts.

Information Board Proposal

Hi,

We are in the midst of implementing 5S as per out-rule by the Malaysian Government.

With that, I've been selected as a 5S Corner leader.

But now we are in the fasting month.

Every fasting seasons is my hibernating time.

I'm lazy, dull and hibernate.

Urghhhh...

So my proposal is simple and direct. My focus is more towards the information delivery. This is the time I wanted to try clean cut presentation. Hope it's work.

My boss said that this is absolutely an accountant design. Direct 1, 2, 3!..huhuhu.. I guest she's right.

Gambatei!
