Turn old magazines into useful coasters

I enjoy magazines, even though there happens to be an abundance of them in my house. At last count, there were over 1500 magazines. While I am a clutter bug, they happen to be inventory, thank you very much. Maybe someday I'll get around to listing them for sale.
In the off chance that I don't get them up for sale, I think that recycling them into drink coasters is an excellent idea. I didn't find any instructions, so I followed all the links and found that you can make placemats, bowls, and magazine boxes too. A Little Hut has great instructions on how to make magazine bowls, and I believe you can use the author's instructions to make any item that you want to, and save the environment too. On the other hand, if you want to save those magazines, read Debra McDuffee's post on making magazine storage boxes.

I have tons of magazines and catalogs. Some of them have just an article or two that I want to keep, yet I can't get rid of the magazines. The clutter is terrible and I'm tired of them. Maybe these ideas will help, although cutting up a magazine seems unlawful to me! LOL If I make something, it has to be something I or my friends can really use.
