Magazine Mail Holder




Hello everyone! I know I've been absent lately. Things are getting crazy again, I don't even want to think how it will be once the holidays really kick into full gear. Well here it is my latest project, Magazine Mail Holder. I was getting tired if it being smushed in every which, way corner so I thought this could be a good solution without buying one. It holds the mail very well. 

You will need:
  • One magazine
  • Mod Podge
Start out by rolling all of the sheets of paper. I used one of my paint brushes to help. To close them I used the Mod Podge.

Then line up 30 of the rolls and Mod Podge them together. First one side and then the other. You can then line 30 more up and do the same thing. This will be the backing. Now line up 10 rolls. This will be your sides.

Cut one of the 30 rolls in half. Make it looks slightly like a roof top and glue in the center. I laid it up against a wall and used a jar to elevate one side so it could dry.

Then cut the 10 rolls in half and glue them to the sides. Now you can attach the mail holder to the backing and then let dry. Once dry you can hang it on the wall however you'd like.
