Question about crafting magazines - Big Big Forums

Hi All,
I have a question. My sister paints with acrylics on all kinds of things and she uses enamel to paint on glass. I'm trying to find her some craft or pattern magazines that she can use. They don't have to be just painting magazines they can be any kind, she can paint anything, but faces. I have looked and looked for some free magazines. The only thing I have found on the web for free magazines are the ones you download. That's a problem for her because she doesn't have internet. I'm trying to find free craft magazines that can be sent to her house. If anyone knows of any I would really appreciate it if you could post them for me. My sister will be so happy. She just lost her husband and she is going to start making craft items to sell so she can have some more income coming in. If you know of any I thank you in advance!

Magazine publishing companies give away magazines in order to have a larger reading audience. They actually make their money from their advertisers. The larger audience they have the bigger ad accounts they get & therefore more money.

The problem with craft magazines are that too many people are willing to buy them. They are just too popular so you don't find free subscriptions for them.

It's a bummer because I sure would love some free ones myself.

Good luck.
