What do you do with old magazines once you’ve finished reading them?
If you’ve been throwing them away, stop!
Those colourful pages are good for so many things and
in today's video I’m going to show you really cool ideas
so you can recycle those magazines creatively!
Who loves a boring and a typical gift wrap... Let's add
a touch of glam with an easy to create paper bow topper.
For the gift bow here’s what you will need to get started:
colourful magazine paper, Stapler
Glue, Marker, Ruler
Scissors & some Double sided tape
Pull out a nice printed colorful paper from the magazine
Then cut 3 strips of 24 x
1.5cms,
Measure this carefully as it’s important
cut 3 strips of 22
x1.5cms
Go ahead and cut 2 more strips, this time
20x1.5cms
And finally, one last strip of 18x
1.5cms
Now bring one end of the strip in the centre
forming a loop...then twist the end like this
Do the same thing with the other end and staple it
This is how it should look like... You gotta repeat
the same with all the strips except for the last one
Shape the last, short strip into a circle
and then staple it
Layer the three longest pieces on top
of each other, spacing them evenly and
securing them with some glue
Add the next two groups of pieces, doing the same
And finally, stick the loop into the center
Now just place the bow topper on the gift using
double sided tape
There is one thing that can never be in style
and that's a water mark on table
So let's take thing up a notch
and craft a quirky coaster that a guest will love
For the coaster here’s what you need to get started:
A cardboard sheet, some colorful papers from the magazine
ruler, marker, scissors, a wooden stick, fevicol and a brush
Cut the cardboard into 10 by 10 cm to form a square base for the coaster
Take a colorful magazine paper and
using a wooden stick roll the paper
from one corner all the way to other
and secure it with some glue
You can make about 10 - 15 rolls
Stick them onto the cardboard
starting from the all corners and moving all the way to the centre
Once you’re done add a mixture of glue and water
as a layer to make it water resistant
With an unwanted box lying around and some pages of magazine
you can create a really cool ring and a earring holder.
I bet you gonna thank me for that
For the ring and earring holder
Here’s what you will need to get started:
An empty box , Magazine Papers, Tape
fevicol, scissors
Felt paper, it can be in any colour I'm using a combination of purples and pinks
Take a magazine paper and start rolling it
to the end and secure with a tape like this
Place the magazine roll in the box
to see if it fits
Cut off if its excess
Make about 10 to 15 rolls
Layer the rolls with a felt paper for a really rich look.
Put the rolls in the box
Now just put your rings and your earrings

you can put your magazines to good use
