Getting a new magazine, whether by mail or in store, can be exciting - they carry the latest news and trends on the subject of your choice! But what happens once you've read it cover to cover? Do you let it sit there until the next one arrives or do you get rid of it? A lot of people often find themselves in the habit of collecting magazines, letting them pile up until they have months worth of information right at their fingertips. The following is a list of a few creative ways that you can recycle old magazines and reduce the amount that end up on your coffee table every month:

1. Make a Collage: Magazines are great for collages. Start by coming up with a theme and then search for pictures that reflect the topic you've chosen.

2. Make a Donation: What's one place you always see magazines? Doctors offices! Doctors offices and the like love receiving donations of magazines as they give their patients something to do while they wait!
3. Vision Board: We all have goals and dreams that we'd like to come true, and the first step in making that happen is by believing in them! Use old magazines to find pictures of things that remind you of your dreams, and compile them together into a collage on a piece of poster board. Don't forget to place your board somewhere where you'll see it often!
4. Wrapping Paper: Stuck at the last minute for a gift bag? Use old magazines to wrap your presents instead - but make sure you don't use any images that might give away the gift!
