Magazine Storage

The best storage for magazines is the trash can. But, if you must, must, must keep some magazines, you'll want to keep them tidy.

You can buy magazine boxes in the office supplies department of your local discount superstore. They come in cute colors and patterns now. That's what I would do if I needed only 1 or 2.

If you need more than that, you can make your own out of cereal boxes. Just start hacking away at an empty cereal box and cut it into a shape similar to the store-bought magazine boxes. If you're really ambitious, I suppose you could cover it with designer Contact Paper so it matches your decor. I just leave mine looking like cut up Cheerios boxes. They won't be quite as sturdy as purchased ones, but they are cheap and easy to replace.

These work great for my kids' Highlights magazines and coloring books. I use them for my to-be-read magazines and my file of homeschool catalogs.
