Give your old magazines to hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers, schools or clinics. Schools need magazines for research and for children to cut pictures out of. Any where there is a waiting room there are people hoping for something to read.

I cut out pictures to use on a scrapbook, but what places can you sell them to?

I get several zines that are not popular.One is from a college & one is from a Veterans organization & I can't think of another one right now.
But mostly they aren't all that interesting.One way to use the lesser interesting ones (you can also use sales sheets that come in the newspaper or the weekly ones with the order blanks for designer personal checks etc.) to make a cute coaster for drinks!

Make a christmas tree. Fold each sheet down from the point to the inside of the magazine (Don't do the covers until the end). When finished folding each page, fold the covers, stand on end and staple or glue or tape the cover pages together. Stand up and spray paint in gold or silver.

I take mine with other things for donation to one of our local no kill animal shelter thrift store. They resell them for .25¢. (An incentive to keep shoppers interested to keep coming back on a regular basis.)

My hairdresser subscribes to about 50 magazines monthly which he displays for customers to read. Every month he weeds the prior month out and gives the magazines to me. I read what interests me and then along with the other magazines I bring them all to the nursing home that I visit weekly. Rather than him toss them out he has enriched peoples quiet time. And it hasn't cost us a penny.
