Sometimes my favorite DIY projects are the simplest ones. Emma Noréhn

from Design and Form created this clever magazine holder for us that uses

only a few supplies and takes just a moment to make. Rather than bulking

magazines together, Emma’s project is all about highlighting a favorite

magazine or two that you’re currently reading. Just gather a few quick

supplies and you’ve got a new hanging magazine display in a jiff! Thanks so

much to Emma for sharing this with us! xo, grace

Supplies:

-Black spray paint

-An empty container (I used an old powder case)

-A candle

-Leather string

-Screws or nails

-Pliers

-A wooden ball

Steps:

Start by heating the screw or nail, holding it with your pliers. Make two small

holes by pressing the heated screw against the plastic. One on the side of

the container and one on the bottom. CAUTION: The screw gets extremely

hot and you’ll want to do this in a well aired room (heated plastic can make a

terrible smell).

When the holes are done, spray the container with spray paint. When that is

dry, slide the leather string trough the hole on the side and make a knot on

it.

You can hide the excess string located above the knot inside the container in

case you want to extend it later.

You can slide the other end of the string through the wooden ball and make

a knot.

Then just put the lid on the container and your magazine holder is done!
