ReadyMade Magazine

ReadyMade Magazine is Martha for the hipsters. The first issue I ever read was Issue 16. I learned how to make a picnic basket/​table out of a wooden pallet, use twine and fire to convert a glass bottle into a bell jar, and discovered the rebar group and PARKing Day. The editor’s letter made me laugh out loud and I just love the scale of difficulty of projects… it ranges from chimp (easiest) to handyperson complete with toolbelt (most dificult). And the Macgyver Challenge is not to be missed. There are two things that would make ReadyMade even better…1. if the magazine was published more often and 2. if the magazine had an online subscription option so I could read the magazine and save a few trees.
Here is a fun little Threadheads episode about ReadyMade
Update:
Did they hear my plea to put the mag online? Well maybe. All the projects ever published are now available online.

This were martha stewart meets burning man. Actually it’s much better than the slop one would get from Martha. This mag is inspired and fun. I want to do every project just about every issue. The hubby loves to make rockets, I love to make cowboy chic lamp shades!
I especially like how the projects are rated by ease and time.

Awesome magazine about do-​it-​yourself projects using recycled materials. Learn how to furnish your home or apartment with chic designs on the cheap. They also carry some really cool merchandise in their online store
