You know, I consider myself kinda crafty. I love to sew, scrapbook, make "stuff." I even turned a room into a craft room this fall, so I would have space to go wild in. I LOVE IT.
However, I am feeling dumb. I don't know how many people really use those EXPENSIVE magazine holders. The ones that are really just hefty cardboard, but look nice. They are around $10 bucks a piece!
I have been wanting some for some crafting magazines for ages. I have tried to think of anything that could work instead. Most boxes were too big, too wide, not deep enough, etc. So I broke down and bought 3 whites one at Wal-mart the other day. They had them for $5. I'm thinking that's a great deal although it is just cardboard.
So after I do that and I'm all happy about organizing my magazines, so I can find what I am looking for, I am on the Martha Stewart website and low and behold, THERE IT IS!
Home made magazine holders.
Can you guess what they are?
It is so simple. You will slap your forehead like I did.
Cereal boxes!
They are perfect! I covered one with a black and white damask print wrapping paper that coordinates with the decor in my craft room and wa-la! 2 magazine holders!
A little disappointed with myself for not seeing that one. O'well. Lesson learned.
:) Happy New Year! May we all learn a few things, big or small.
