I love a DIY I can actually accomplish without spending a million bucks or injuring myself in the process and these Memo-Blocks fall into that category. Dave Hakkens always comes up with clever designs and these are no exception. Most of us probably have endless sticky notes and pieces of paper cluttering our desks and it’s so messy looking. The Memo-Blocks contain all of your notes into one, geometric block that you can re-use over and over again making it less waste!

Use a whiteboard marker to write your messages and then wipe away when you’re done with it.

The best part is that he’s offering the instructions for three versions via download so that you can make them yourself with everyday items you have laying around – plastic bags, foil, or sheet protectors, along with tape or glue. Easy peasy!

Oh, how brilliant! I adore the design. My desk is swimming in Post-it notes, and they’ve begun to inch up the side of my computer screen. (yikes!) While I think the DIY version is fantastic, I’d love to be able to simply purchase one. In any case, thanks for sharing!

    I cannae! I guess he’s removed it from his site. I didn’t realise this was from 2012 at first, so that explains a lot.
