Make paper blocks yourself from paper scraps

I work in the administration of a school and so I often get annoyed when in the morning countless sheets of unwanted advertising have accumulated from my FAX machine, or colleagues who had forgotten to copy a sheet had forgotten to go to the copy counter and then often a whole class set is printed out. The colleague, who was previously at the copier, had just forgotten to delete his attitude.

So I always collect the one-sided printed paper, cut it with a paper cutter, which we just have in school, cut to a size I want. This is of course in batches.

Then I take clips that you can buy in craft shops for a small amount of money, clamp a block together and glue it to the clamped side. There I paint Ponal / wood glue and wait about 10 minutes until the Ponal is dry. I already have a nice tear-off block, which can at least serve good for notes. To date, nobody has complained that he gets sticky notes, which are also described on the other side.

You just have to be careful that there are no personal data on the other side, because of privacy, etc. I have not had to order a block in all the years I'm already at the school. On the one hand it protects my wallet, on the other hand it protects the trees. Incidentally, I also provide colleagues or my family with these little blocks. Are always used as a slip or doodle blocks for children.
