All a load of junk

Who picks up the free mags at the end of a supermarket shop? I did and found some good recipes inside. I decided to make this throwaway mag into a junk Autumn recipe book. Two mags were needed for this and all I did was to stick papers over anything that was advertising or not relevant. Here's a comparison of the front covers.


Inside the book I crudely decorated with crafty bits.



Advertising was covered up with note paper ...




… or other recipes which were cut out of the sacrificial mag.


I even covered large advertising pages with interesting articles from another section.


Now I have a recipe book that can be brought out in the autumnal season and added to each year. Not a load of junk after all.

  4. Great idea, it saves time not having to copy out those great recipes and gives you a chance to declutter other magazines at the same time.

    God bless.

  6. Now that is a really good idea. I keep promising to put all the recipes in a file but never do.
