Creative ways to use old magazines in new ways
Magazine coasters on a roll
Making rolled magazine coasters is one of the easiest and coolest ways to reuse old magazines.
Cut up some colourful magazine pages and roll them up tightly into tubes. Put the rolls together with glue in a circle to make a coaster of any size you want. Use clear varnish to protect the table and make it look nice.
They’ll protect your furniture and add a splash of colour to your living room at the same time.
Magazine Page Wrapping
Use magazine page gift wraps to make your present more unique. Choose pages with bright pictures or words that mean something to you. Wrap your gift carefully and tape the ends to keep them together.
Finish the look with a ribbon or twine. Not only is this better for the environment than regular gift wrap, but it also makes your gifts more interesting and unique.
Magazine basket made of weft
Make a cute and useful woven magazine box to keep your things in order. To make a strong box, cut magazine pages into long strips and weave them together. You can change the shape and size to suit your needs.
This easy-to-do project will not only help you store things, but it will also look great in your home.
Magazine Jewellery with Beads
You can make trendy and eco-friendly jewellery out of old magazines. Cut long, triangular strips from pages of a different colour magazine. To make a bead, roll each strip tightly around a stick.
Use clear nail paint or varnish to seal the beads. Put the beads on a string and make bands, necklaces, or earrings that will stand out.
Bowls for magazines
You can make stylish and eco-friendly magazine bowls to hold your little things and trinkets. Mix glue and water together and cover thin strips of magazine pages with them. Wrap the strips around an upside-down bowl and shape them into the shape of a bowl.
Once it’s dry, take the bowl out of the mould and you’re done! You have a cool and useful magazine bowl.
Plant Pots Magazine
Print magazine plant pots to add some green to your home. Put magazine pages together in a stack and glue them together to keep them together. Make a base that is round and then build up to make a pot. Put plastic on the inside to hold dirt and plants.
These eco-friendly pots give your home garden a unique look.
Not only is recycling old magazines a great way to help the environment, but it’s also a great way to get creative.
You can make anything, from plates and wall art to jewellery and plant pots. If you come across a stack of old mags, don’t throw them away. Instead, make something amazing out of them!
