Ideas for Using Old Fashion Magazines

I have over 100 Fashion Magazines, Vogue, etc., with pages and pages of beautiful pictures. Any ideas out there as to what I can do with these? It would be a shame to just toss them out.

You could also cut them out for paper dolls for little girls, if you don't have any girls, you could donate to an elementary school for art projects, or to a realitive with little girls.

I'd frame a few of the fashions. They will make a nice addition to a little girls room.( Some big girls too).Fun to see styles change and never can tell when those fashions will be in style again.

My friend used to make envelopes out of magazine pages and send me letters. I loved it! Also, I have used beautiful pages out of rolling stone for wrapping small gifts, like dvds, cds, and other things.

Pass them on to your neighbors or friends.
Sell them in lots on Ebay.
Sell them 10/$1.00 at a yardsale.
Donate them to your local hospital or clinic.

Be sure to remove your name & address labels.

How about making paper dolls for a special little one? A simple cardboard form, some scissors, and she'd have a ball "designing" a wardrobe from the pages.

Donate them to a nursing home or shelter for battered women.
