3M Office Power

This entry was inspired by the weekly challenge contest.  I did not want this Instructable to get stuck in the filters so I used words to avoid it. Most of the entries are related to g--s in nature.  If your going to compete against the big boys you have to think like them.  However to make this Instructable a little more feminine I added a woman's touch! 

Please note: If you decide to make one of these use caution.  I am not an expert and I do not know if this is entirely safe or not.   The can list many cautions in using this product.  I would not allow children to make one.  

Step 1: Cleaning Supplies

This is what you will need:

• 1 Can 3M dust remover 
• Several pink pencil pillows 
• 1 large straw
• Tape
• Scissors
• Empty CD case
• 1 Instructable's apron
• 1 Serious office worker

Step 2: Attaching the Pointer

Method:

• Trim the straw to the desired length.
• Attach a small piece of tape to the snout of the 3M duster can.
• Attach the trimmed straw to the end of the snout securely.

Step 3: Doohickey for Stinging

Method:

• Cut the pencil pillows into small pieces as shown.

Step 4: Storage

Storing the pink doohickey's:

• Store the doohickey's in the empty CD case until needed.

Step 5: De-junking the Office

How it works:

• Put on the apron.
• Load the pointer with several pink doohickey's.
• Aim at what ever or whom ever you wish to disappear.
• Pull the button.
• Watch the unwanted disappear.

Step 6:

It would be a more useful removal device if you soaked the doohickey's in something that smelled bad.  Moth balls or some type of foot powder.  I did not have anything here to use.  The pencil pillows are used for close contact.  Naturally spit balls would work better for a distance.  I tried to use different types of office supplies to make this Instructable. I added this page because I thought it was a neat idea for an office candle holder but it did not have enough steps for a full Instructable.

This is how I made the candle holder.

• Wrap rubber-bands around a small jar as shown.
• Embellish the lid.
• Place sand in the jar.
• Add some type of scented oil.
• Turn on the battery operated candle.
• Place it in the jar.

Step 7: Sunshiine's Final Thoughts

Now that you have made a pleasant environment , turn on the scented candle, pour a cup of tea, and enjoy the peace and comfort of your office.

Even though this is not something that I would usually make, it was fun. 

Thank you for stopping by and do have a peaceful experience.

Thanks for sharing, Sylvia. I will do one of these to remove my wife when she comes asking something while I am writing an email or instructable.

Annoying isn't it? We share the office and he only plays music when I am trying to think about what to write. Want in on a little secret? My other half used to complain about Instructables Until . . . I started making Instructables that he benefited from. I did not hesitate to inform him, he will really appreciate the upcoming cookie contest. I received a big grin! I will inform him of the new house rules! No eating the merchandise until it is published!

Haha, I predict trouble if you do this!

Aren't you glad your on the West Coast? I am afraid it is only good at close range. Spit balls work great in it! Thanks for commenting and as always have a unpredictable fabulous day!

So, it's like a confetti-shooter to deter pesky coworkers?

Yup! I don't normally use the dust stuff and thought this was a good way to finish off the bottle. Thanks for commenting! Have a super week!
