I know that you can get all the info you need online these days, and some may say that magazines are useless and outdated. I personally still love to hold a magazine in my hands and discover new things with the turn of a page. I like to take them out on the deck and read them while relaxing in the sun, I like to hold them in my hand while I try out a new recipe, and I love to share the articles I find with other people. What happens to all these magazines when we are done with them? I’d like to say I toss them or recycle them but I don’t! I have a few stacks of them around here  Anywho I have been trying to find some neat crafts to try with old magazines. Here are some of the projects for old magazines that I have found.
