Personal Collage


Simple Collage: Materials

Cardboard from any unused box-so the size does not matter.
 
Old magazines- I'm sure everyone has these lying around. Look for words or quotes that fit your personality and cut them out. Start arranging them on the cardboard to start sizing what else is needed. At this point-no adhesive is added. First get the arrangement you want. I take a picture when I'm done to use as a visual before gluing.


Adhesive-I used sticky tabs for this particular project to glue pieces, but I would recommend spray adhesive, glue or modpodge. If you do not have modpodge, then you can thin out glue with a small amount of water so its easy to brush on. After gluing the pieces on the cardboard, I let it dry for about 30 minutes. Then I brushed on a thin layer of modpodge across the collage to keep in tact.


Ribbon-I just taped the ribbon to the back to hang collage. 
 
 
 
    
Your Done!!
Sorry for the messy background..
 
Great project for kids to express how they feel about themselves.
This project gives them different skills to use and can be a great accomplishment.
