Sometimes I wake up late and forget to pack lunch for work. It happens to everyone. Whenever I forget leftovers and want to save money, I try to piece together a meal with whatever snacks I can find in the break room. But on Mondays, when the break room hasn't yet been restocked, my hunger can lead to delirium, and suddenly, led by a voracious appetite, I wonder, "What if the office supplies themselves could be a meal?"

The stop-motion Papermeal video series from Australian design studio Yelldesign makes my stomach-churning hallucinations appear delicious. They also call to mind the glory days of Nickelodeon interstitials, when commercial breaks were peppered with stop-motion shorts.

Each Papermeal video focuses on the assembly of a different dish, with all the food and cooking utensils built solely out of paper and filmed in stop-motion. To carry the papercraft theme even further, most of the shorts focus on imagining the food itself as originating as an office item: for example, rolled folders become pasta, while a yellow sticky note transforms into a slice of cheese.

There are five Papermeal videos in the series, ranging from a clever computer-themed fish and chips to a Wreck-It Ralph-esque assembly line for an ice cream sundae. The combination of the creative recipes and detailed animation work make all of them a delightful diversion from a Monday morning.
