Got a bunch of old magazines taking up space? Don't throw them away! There are many things you can do with old magazines. Here are just some ideas on how to reuse them!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • old magazines
  1. Step 1

    SWAP WITH A FRIEND! Trading magazines is a good way to save money! You each get a different subscription and when you are done reading just swap!

  2. Step 2

    DONATE TO A LIBRARY! Many libraries will take all kinds of magazines. Ask you local library if they want your used magazines!

  3. Step 3

    BRING THEM TO A NURSING HOME! Many elderly people would love a magazine to read. And while you are there, how about reading an article to someone! I'll bet they'd love the visit!

  4. Step 4

    USE FOR CRAFTS! Let your kids cut up the pages and make a collage. Or use the pages to make paper airplanes or oragmi crafts! Shiny, colorful magazine pages are great for all kinds of crafts!

  5. Step 5

    SHREAD THEM! This is great if you have a hamster or other small caged pet. They love shreaded paper.

  6. Step 6

    SELL THEM! Magazines are a great yard sale item! Mark them all 10 cents each or 25 cents for more expensive ones like Oprah's O magazine and your piggy bank will grow!

  7. Step 7

    GIVE THEM AWAY! Just give them to anyone who will take them! If they don't want to read them tell them about all the fun things they can do with them... especially if they have kids!
