Collages are fun because they allow you to express yourself creatively. Depending on your style, you can make many different types of collages.

How to make a collage 

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies and Materials and Something to Collage On! 

* Glue 

*Paper Materials 

Step 2: 

Cutting out pictures can be fun! Keep them in a basket or sort them by color if you like. But you don’t have to be organized—you can also cut or tear as you go!

Step 3:

Arrange Your Pieces

Place the biggest pieces first. Move them around before gluing, or skip this step for a fun, random look!

Step 4 : 

 Glue Everything Down

Start gluing once you're ready! Use a glue stick or a little Liquitex matte gel medium. Spread evenly with a foam brush and smooth out bubbles. Add a thin layer on top for texture or less glare if desired.

Step 5: (Optional) Seal Your Collage

To protect your collage, use a thin layer of varnish like Liquitex, matte gel medium, or spray varnish. A foam brush prevents brush strokes, while a regular brush adds texture. If it’s just for fun in a journal, sealing isn’t needed!

Have Fun Collaging! Remember, 

collages are a fun way to use up extra paper and express yourself! They can be a great way to decorate a journal, make artwork for your wall, or just have fun experimenting.

There are no rules—just enjoy the process and try different techniques!
