Making a Paper Collage
Making a paper collage is really fun and all it takes is a little creativity!
Supplies
- cardboard (to make a solid base)
- paint
- paper
- something to color with (colorpencils, markers, ect.)
- construction paper
- stickers/paper tape
Prepairing the Base
First I cut my cardboard shoe box into a small square, but you can make it any size you want, I painted mine purple and white, because I knew that you might be able to see the paint below the paper, so I wanted it to look cool.
Getting the Pieces Ready.
Next I used my colorful construction paper and really just cut out/tore the random shapes I wanted. You can plan this out but it's fun to just do whatever and see how that turns out. In my opinion going into this without an idea is a good way to get a more unique design.
The Final Product
In the end the original paint layer was visible, that may not be ideal for you but I like the way it looks. I used my colorful paper tape to write my name, as well as add a little more detail. Overall, I love the way it turned out.
