Except for my Church magazines, which I just stow away on the shelf, I like to cut up my magazines. Any useful or creative article I can find, I save in an organized 3-ring binder...and any pictures I love that would make a good collage, I save, too, in labeled page protectors. But what else can I do with the magazines (or just their papers) after I'm done cutting it up? Well, here are 10 ideas!
10. Make a ransom note or collage with pieces of it!
9. Baskets!
8. Magazine bowls! (Tutorial HERE.)
7. Coasters!
6. Beads! You can glue long triangles into beads, or you can get more grown-up and put pieces of a paper in clear links.
5. Make a magazine bow for the holidays! Tutorial HERE.
4. Paper crafts! Of course! From roses to hearts to mod podge wonders and everything in between!
3. Roll those pages tightly and adorn a frame!
2. Make easy magazine butterflies! Tutorial HERE.
1. Use as wrapping paper.
BONUS IDEAS:
*How about a magazine tree? You can make these even prettier if you follow the directions HERE.
* A mosaic! Of course, I've already talked about this sort of thing with cereal boxes...but it's a classic!
I'm sure *something* here is worth your while! I know I'm going to go get started on a few trees for the holidays (in less than a month!). Happy crafting!
