Recycling old magazines

 

Again, I am unable to publish my comments.  Blogger has decided to strike again.  You will see my comment I left to you SOON, I hope.  BTW, I will be re-installing Firefox in a few days. 

Yesterday I showed you how to use wax paper that holds cereal.  Today, I will show something that includes a cereal box.

I'm fairly certain most of you know to put your cardboard to good use, like the cereal box I'm showing in the above photo.  But did you ever think to save old magazines, especially those from advertisers, to use under pieces or objects you glue?  Once the glue has been spread on the item you wish to adhere, remove it, and turn the page of the magazine.  You are now ready for the next item you wish to glue.  Works well on both wet and dry glues.  Kelly at Collage Lab uses coffee filters when she spreads her glue.  I use coffee filters to make coffee!  If you don't get magazines or junk mail, an old telephone book will do the same trick!! 

For Day 4 of 22 leading up to bEARTHday, I showed one way to recycle old magazines.

I didn´t understand the "hack", Elizabeth, but we do not buy cereals and get no paper ads anymore, either - the latter is quite sad, I enjoyed it!
Ow, blogger...

Whatever is available and not too good to use in art, is what I used. I haven't tried this method before. hugs-Erika
