Getting Rid of Old Magazines
I have been keeping various magazines for awhile after I read them. Usually for reference of articles but this time I'm looking to recycle them in a creative way by using them for my collage projects. I plan to do two of them (one for each of my kids) based on their likes and dislikes. I think it will be great to have something else to look back on besides photos and their artwork. My son is actually pretty creative with his school projects so he may help me put the collages together.
I plan to have a few pictures of them in the collage but have words and illistrations describing their personalities. They'll get a kck out of seeing these when they are older. I actually have a collage I did for myself which I'll be adding more stuff to it and getting it laminated along with the others.
I loved doing collages when I was in school and continued doing them after high school. I think this would be a good way to reduce stress and spend time with my rugrats. Some people may think they are time consuming but it depends on the size and content. Once I get started it doesn't take me too long to finish (may a few days at the most).
In the future I'll post some pics but in the mean time I got lots of letters, words, and pictures to cut. (Happy cutting to me!)
