15 Ways You Can Creatively Repurpose Old Magazines For Your Home
By SARAH COGGAN
Decor
To make an easy papier-mâché bowl, mix 1 cup of flour and 2 cups of water, place moistened strips of magazine pages over half of a balloon, let it dry, then pop the balloon.
Prints
Create inexpensive wall art by framing your favorite magazine covers, like National Geographic and Vanity Fair, which feature glossy, artistic, professional photography.
Collage
Cut interesting pictures out of magazines, arrange them in an appealing way on a poster board, glue them down, seal the collage with Mod Podge, then hang it on your wall.
Flowers
Make paper flowers from old magazines and use the existing print colors or paint them. Seal them with Mod Podge, add sticks or skewers as stems, then arrange them in a vase.
Curtain
Cut magazine pages into triangles, wrap each around a toothpick to make beads, seal them in Mod Podge, slide them onto a string, and hang them from hooks on a curtain rod.
