Free Magazines and Catalogs I Use for Collaging

I love collaging. This art form often involves spending a significant amount of time poring over multiple catalogs and magazines for the perfect imagery and verbiage. Most of us have piles of old magazines lying around, or at least have family or friends that are willing to donate theirs to our cause. 

But there are also those of us that don't have this luxury, or those of us with an extreme love of collaging that have exhausted most of their resources already or just want to expand their collection. This list covers multiple totally FREE catalogs and magazines that I subscribe to that provide me with a steady stream of collaging material throughout the year.

Also please try to support these companies while using their free catalogs! You can order from them, or at least give them a shout-out for providing the imagery for your art piece if you post your work on social media! A lot of work goes into these companies, and supporting them allows them to continue operating and offering free catalogs.
