Make Your Own Collage Tips & Tricks

FIRST THINGS FIRST!

THERE ARE NO "RIGHT" ANSWERS WHEN IT COMES TO COLLAGE - DO WHAT YOU FEEL

BUT if you are looking for a place to start, try these suggestions:

• go through your pages and pull out any images/words that you are drawn to

• look for similar textures/colors

• use scissors or other sharps to cut out people, words, objects, or shapes

• try ripping pages up with your hands-- this can be very satisfying and can create intuitive shapes

• feel free to add elements from around your house (fabric, photos, other magazines, newspaper, feathers, string, movie tickets, wrapping paper... the options are endless)

• play with layering images on top of each other

• move things around your page until you're ready to glue them

• have fun with it!
