{ Readymade Magazine }

Unlike every other magazine out there that just looks good and shows you cool stuff you can buy, Readymade magazine looks great and shows you cool stuff you can make, and then how to make it. Usually on the cheap. Following the instructions in the mag, I've bought better tools, made a vinyl wallet, crafted an all-zipper pouch keychain thing, organized my kitchen, made some cool lights, whipped up some decent crapin the kitchen, and soon am going to be making my girl a Lite-Brite coffee table, or maybe a mean-ass socktopus. A subscription is $20 online, but if you grab the mag at the store ($4.95), you can usually use one of those silly postcard litter papers for a better deal, or maybe even get a free t-shirt.

yeah, readymade is awesome, but as cheap as their ideas may be sometimes, you'd think they could come down in price on the cost of their issues, what are they, like $10 a pop??? and they only come out 4 times a year.... but the cousch made of grass and the litebrite table are awesome... not to mention my new obsession with dooce.com...

Yeah, they do cost mad coin, as Conan would say, but hey, they just went bi-monthly, and a subscription isn't THAT costly....
