Elegantly Said Make & Takes for Team Meeting plus video

Because of the pandemic Team Meetings are still being held virtually.  Starting tomorrow June 11, the Stay at Home will gradually be lifted.  But we're not out of the woods yet, as I won't be getting my second vaccination until June 22, and children under the age of 12 have yet to be given the shot in the arm.  So, until it is safer, team meetings will remain virtual.

That means Make and Takes, traditionally made during these meetings, will also be done virtually.  How that will work I am not sure.  Before I reveal my plan I want to describe the projects for the meeting.


The 3 projects include: a note card, an A2 card and a treat box.  

I made a video describing how to make all three projects.  It can be viewed here or on You Tube  https://youtu.be/fTpL4V2S3bw

Making a Book Mark with Tag Punch

1 Insert top end of 1 ¾” strip of DSP into top end of punch.

Tip:  if you experience difficulty inserting the cardstock through the top insert it from the exit slit in the front pulling the tail out.





                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 


2.  Then insert the bottom end into the opposite end of the punch


My Plan:

1.  Design the make and takes.  Create a PDF with measurements

2.  Make kits for 7 team members

3  Mail kits and PDF - giving the post office 2 weeks to get the kits to team members.

4.  An e-mail to team members re the plan

4.  Create a video

All the planning has been done.  I created an extra kit for myself which will be used during the meeting to help with the direction.

A couple of days before the meeting I decided to release the video early so that the make and takes could be done prior to the meeting.  Then during the meeting each item will be discusses and each member can discuss difficulties encountered making the item.
