Do you have a pile of vacation guides or travel magazines just sitting around your house?

Don’t pitch ’em! Instead, let us tell you how you can reuse them in clever and practical ways!

1. Turn Them into Wrapping Paper

Chances are, you’re going to need some wrapping paper this holiday season… and travel magazine inserts (maps, pull-outs, et cetera) make awesome wraps for gifts! In fact, the vacation guide glossy pages are loads stronger than some of the wrapping paper found in stores!

2. Shred ‘Em

Have a shredder at home? Then remove the staples (if applicable) from your travel magazines and shred away! Use the shredded pages for packing or to line the bottom of your furry friend’s litter box.

3. Let Kids Create Collages

The photography in travel mags is typically outstanding… so why pitch it when your kids can use their safety scissors and glue sticks to put together fabulous murals?

4. Use the Photos as Inexpensive Artwork

Have some fave pics from a vacation guide? Cut them out, mount them on colored cardboard, frame them, and voila! You have instant wall art for your powder room, dining area, or foyer!

Have some travel magazine recycling ideas of your own? Then please share them with GuestQuest and our readers!
