PAPERCLIP
A group of us was given three minutes to list as many ways we could think of using a paperclip. Our list started slowly at first and then sped up. Here are some of the first to make the list:
• In place of a button
• Necklace
• Picture hanger
• Open the compartment with the sim card
• Bend into stick figures
• Hold pieces of paper together
• Hairpin
• Money clip
• Zipper pull replacement
• Key ring
• Untangle a knot
• Bookmark
• Clip on something to a belt loop
• Scarf pin
• Eyeglass repair
• …
Kind of amazing, isn’t it to “think outside the box”, to get creative, to play off each other’s ideas, to remove limitations.
What are some other ideas you have?
