Weekend Reading: Ready Made Magazine

Caught the do-it-yourself bug? Feeling crafty? Pick up a copy of Ready Made magazine. This month's (last month's?) issue includes tips on turning old belts into dog collars ("doggie bling"), twist ties into Christmas wreaths, and plastic newspaper bags into creative bows for gifts. Projects range in skill from total beginner to advanced master craftsman level, but always offer inspiration. Maybe you will actually build a living grass sofa in your backyard. Or maybe, like me, you'll feel cool enough just reading about it and stick to the more basic projects. Either way, each issue will offer creative ideas for turning your old stuff into something new.

Available at newstands and hipper supermarkets. Subscriptions available at ReadyMade or Amazon.
