Creative Uses for Magazines

So, you’ve finished reading your fantastic magazine from National Magazine Exchange, and it’s time to figure out what to do next.  Do you throw away the magazine (No!). Do you recycle it in the recycling bin (Sure, you can).  Another idea which is certainly more creative and more fun is to make cool envelopes with the magazine pages.  If you are sending a letter to someone who loves cars, for instance, you can use pictures of cars to create the envelope. 

If you are artistic, you can use pictures from the magazines to practice your art.  Choose a medium, including chalk drawing, water colors, or other ideas, and get to work practicing with the magazine example.

Have fun using magazines creatively.  This offers you two opportunities to love your magazine subscription. First, you get to enjoy reading the magazine and then you get to enjoy doing something creative with it!
