    Love these ideas, even though I'm not crafty enough to be able to create any of them! I just donate my magazines to the library, which they sell for 25-50 cents each :)

    Who knew you could make magazines sturdy enough to turn into a shelf! What a cool idea. My daughter makes plant stands with magazines. I'm not sure how she does it but they turn out really pretty!

    Thanks for sharing - that stool idea is brilliant! I hadn't seen it on apartment therapy, thanks for the link. I love how the belt will hold them together and you can still access magazines, while making them useful instead of just a pile taking up space.
