Older Magazines

Many nifty magazines you subscribe to, magazines that come in the newspaper, sample magazines that are delivered, all have a use once you have finished reading them! Here are some ideas for recycling, reducing, and reusing:

- For magazines that we subscribe to, once we are finished with them we give them to other family members to read.

- Once the magazines have been read (by us and family members) if we don't use them further we donate them to the Salvation Army.

- Our nieces use the magazines to cut pictures out of for their school projects. They have also made some great collages with them!

- For painting ideas, we use the pictures from magazines.

- Old magazines are great for making scrapbooks...we cut out the pictures and the letters....sure is a lot cheaper than buying scrapbook material!

- And if we still have magazines left over, we put them in the recycle bin. There are many products that use recycled magazines!

And, to save money, rather than subscribe to a magazine, borrow it from your local libray. Most librarys have many different types of magazines available. Also, many magazines will post some of their articles on line. Check the website of your favorite magazine and see what they offer!
