Art magazine designed for easy re-use as giftwrap

The appositely named Wrapper art magazine is designed to be disassembled after reading and re-used as wrapping paper and stationery:
We have also altered our format a little since issue one, so Wrap is now bigger than before with a harder cover. We've had the back cover perforated so it can become a set of 8 notecards to match all the prints inside and all the sheets are only folded over once, so they're kept as neat and flat as possible, ready for when you need to pull them out and wrap up a present!
The Wrapper (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    What an amazing idea! 
    What better way to spread and share art… of course now I’ll have to buy 2 copies so I have one for the shelf. It’s reminiscent of the whole conundrum of whether to keep the action figure in the box or take it out to play!
