The How-To Manual That You Can Edit 
A boring day at the office can be remedied by an impromptu game of darts during coffee break, but your boss probably won't be receptive to your bringing a dartboard to work. Instead, you can make darts and a dartboard out of common things found on or around your desk, get a few of your co-workers together, and enjoy a good old game of office darts. Steps [edit]
- Gather your supplies, as listed in the Things You'll Need below. All of them should be within reach of your desk, but you may have to take a stroll to the office supply cabinet if your own supplies are scarce.
- Empty the mechanical pencils using a staple remover.
Tape a push pin to the end of a single mechanical pencil. - Fold a small post-it in half, taping the loose ends onto the eraser end of the pencil. Repeat this with two more post-its, spacing them out so they make an even wing on the end of the dart.
- Make darts out of the remaining two pencils by repeating the process.
Search for a picture of a dart board, print it out, and pin it up on a bulletin board or soft cubicle wall. - Play darts!
Tips [edit]
- Do not add any more weight to the dart by using heavier objects than listed. Using too much tape can weigh the darts down, too.
- You can use a hollowed out pen for this as well.
- Do not use the regular size post-its as they will be too large to make a correctly sized wing.
Warnings [edit]
- Be careful when assembling and using darts in the office; this may be grounds for discipline or termination.
