Can You Put Books In A Magazine Rack?

The answer is both yes and no. It all depends on the type of magazine rack you have. If you have a wire or metal rack, then it’s not advisable to put books in it. The wire mesh or metal bars can damage the spine of your book. However, if you have a wooden magazine rack, then it’s perfectly fine to put books in it. The wood won’t damage the spine of your book and it will look just as good as if it were in a bookcase. So, next time you’re looking for a place to store your books, don’t forget about the magazine rack! It might just be the perfect solution.

A simple magazine rack made with, gulp!, pocket screws!

For the last few years, Popular Woodworking has been publishing numerous projects within their I Can Do That series.

What Can You Do With An Old Magazine Rack?

An old magazine rack can be repurposed in a number of ways. Here are just a few ideas:

-Use it as a plant stand. Top it with a piece of glass or Plexiglas to create a mini greenhouse for your seedlings or herbs.

-Turn it into a jewelry organizer. Hang necklaces and bracelets from the magazine racks to keep them tangle-free.

-Use it as a towel holder in your bathroom. Roll up hand towels or washcloths and place them in the magazine rack for easy access.

-Make it into a mail sorter. Place incoming and outgoing mail in the different slots to help keep your desk organized.

-Use it as a catch-all in your entryway. Fill it with Keys, sunglasses, and other items you need to grab on your way out the door.

How Do You Make A Hanging Magazine Holder?

You’ll need some supplies before you get started. For this project, you’ll need:

– A wooden dowel

– A saw

– Sandpaper

– Paint or a sealant (optional)

– Twine or rope

– A hammer

– Nails

First, cut your dowel to the desired length using the saw. Then, sand down any rough edges on the dowel. If you want, you can paint or seal the dowel at this point.

Next, cut a piece of twine or rope that is long enough to wrap around the dowel several times. Tie the twine securely around one end of the dowel.

Finally, hammer nails into the wall at either end of the dowel. Hang your new magazine holder on the nails and fill it with your favorite magazines!
