I missed a few Sundays and this Sunday is Christmas. So I'm going to give you my useful useless item tonight.
I love magazines of all sorts. They usually pack great articles with ideas, tips, information, etc. And most have gorgeous photography. I can, however, only read the same magazine so many times before I'm thoroughly done with it. I'll clip recipes and other tidbits I like that I know I'll use continuously.Then it's just another useless item in my home.
I hate to just throw them away and only so many places will take magazine donations (and mostwon't take ones I clip from). Sure I can recycle them but like I said they have such gorgeous photography in most that I feel like I'm destroying art.
A thought I've picked up along the way (yes probably from one of my magazines) is to find uses for the sheets in the magazines.
One idea is to take an interesting page from a magazine and frame it to make a beautiful piece of artwork.
Another very fun thing is to use multiple pages as wrapping paper. You can combine sheets of various colors, backgrounds, etc to create unique wrapping paper.
Or use it to background a cork board for messages. Take some of your favorite pages and paste them to you cork board. Gives you a place to organize plus a creative unique piece for your home. When doing this, my thought is to create a collage of pages in different shapes.
The possibilities can be endless if you just look around. Hey even use them to decorate the empty diaper boxes you're putting to other uses! Hope these have sparked some ideas for you and maybe cleared out some clutter in your home. Enjoy your weekend and have a very Merry Christmas!
