Recycle those shiny glossy magazines using the following suggestions.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1
     

    Remove the name/address label on the front of the magazines. Next, take all those old magazines to your Doctor or Dentist Office for them to place in their waiting rooms for their patients to read while waiting.

  2. Step 2

    This is a cute and crafty way to recycle those old glossy magazines. It's easy to use colorful magazine pictures to make envelopes. Simply get an old store bought envelope and open it up. Press flat. Use this as a template to make your own glossy magazine inspired envelopes.

  3. Step 3

    Cut out beautiful pictures of tropical Islands and beautiful landscapes. Use these to hang on the walls in your home. A great way to recycle and redecorate!

  4. Step 4

    Use magazine pages to wrap small gifts. Simply wrap as you would any gift wrap, trim, and glue paper flat.

  5. Step 5

    Design colorful wall collages with different pictures out of magazines. Love fashion? Cut out clothing, shoes, purses. Make into a collage
    by pasting on wall board and hanging on walls.

  6. Step 6

    Use colorful pages to wrap around old plain boxes or cardboard containers.
    Place household items in boxes. Or store kids toys.

  7. Step 7

    Use colorful magazine pages to cover small novels you are currently reading.

  8. Step 8

    Grab all those old magazines collecting dust in the attic. Try selling them at a flea markets or garage sale for some extra cash. Or save the time and trouble and donate the magazines to a local charity so they can
    sell for profits.
