Turn old magazines into useful coasters

a coaster made from magazines
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.
