Pack Rat magazine is about turning what you have into what you want. That means using the resources you have on hand to make the life you want. Whether those resources are a couple of bucks in your pocket, a stick of glue and glitter, or an internet connection, we show you how to take what you already own, and make it work for you in the most affordable, stylish ways possible. As we all know, pack rats are people who save everything, with the idea that "some day" it will all be useful. Well why not make today that day? Our step by step tutorials will show you how to use up all those "left-overs" life hands you, from a broken watch to a plastic bag. And, in case you don't have some of the supplies on hand, all of our tutorials include a handy price guide so you can not only get the most out of what you already own, but you can stretch your dollar further. Speaking of making your dollar go the distance, our reviews show you where your money can be well spent and our profile/interviews are full of inspiring tips from other people thriving in the make-it-work lifestyle. So open your junk drawer, clean out your craft closet, and get ready for a full make-over Pack Rat style!
