Pointer:
If you’ve never tried your hand at collage, now’s your chance! Just play
with the different colors and designs and have no fear! When you put together a
collection of things that you like, you’re sure to end up with something you
love, so just “Have Fun With It!”
Steps:
1. Arrange magazine clippings and photo and poem in a pleasing collage. You
can tear some of the pieces out if desired.
2. Decoupage the pieces onto foam board until completely covered. Brush on top coat of decoupage glue. Press out wrinkles as much as possible. Let dry.
3. Place glass into frame, then mat board, and finally the finished collage.
4. Glue back of foam board edges to frame to secure.
