Reusing old magazines, brochures, flyers & other glossy papers

Tweet

I am a directseller & I get to receive brochures of the products I sell once 0r twice a month. When sale dates on the brochures are over, they are of no use anymore(I'm referring to their primary purpose, that is, advertisement) & tend to add to your home's garbage. I don't wanna throw them away 'coz they are made of quality paper so I made envelopes out of it where I could put discount coupons, pictures & letter cut-outs (when you have school kids cut-outs always come in handy). I also cut them in strips & used as stuffings when shipping delicate & breakable items.Gift cards ( the one where you write your greetings & the "to & from" thing)can also be made from these glossy papers but choose the ones with light colors & with no letter print & use designing scissors to give instant accent to the edges. I guess some of you out there have these kind of paper stuffs at home. I wonder how you reuse yours? If it's not too much, I'd like to know what other great ideas you have. Please share your ways of reusing these kind of material. Thanks!
