We used to love making things out of magazine pages when we were in middle school and high school. I guess it was partly because magazines were the supply we always had access to! But to us, there's something so perfectly 90s about a good magazine page craft. Here's an easy way to make a durable clutch from your favorite magazine's pages.
1. Supplies: magazines, laminating sheets, embroidery thread, scissors. 2. Begin by ripping out your favorite magazine pages for your clutch. 3. After you've picked your favorite, assort them in a collage and apply the laminating pages directly on top. We went really slow with this step, making sure the laminating sheets lined up perfectly. Once you've the covered the entire area, cut it into a perfect square. 4. Then, begin forming the clutch by folding three corners to the middle and securing them in place with another laminating sheet. 5. Next, cut the corners of the sides, making the top corner able to fold down farther. 6. Lastly, attach a hook and button so you can close it shut! 
Happy crafting! xo. elsie and emma

What timing - I was just doing some spring cleaning and debating whether to toss my old magazines or salvage my favorite looks for some sort of project - this may be it!

This is a great idea! My friend and I make envelopes out of magazines all the time; it is really fun (and cheap - we are definitely poor college students). Where do you get the laminating sheets?
