Old Magazines Heart Collage
You'll need:
Old magazines;
Glue stick;
Scissors;
Cardboard.
Instructions
Step One: when you go through the magazine, pull out pages with solid colors that are at least 2 inches wide.
Step Two: pull out pages with colorful images that will be the heart shaped pieces.
It made a perfect 2″ square for a background! It helps to think 2″ squares when you are sorting through the magazine for background images.
Step Three: cut out 25 2″ squares (for a 10 x 10 collage.)
Step Four: Cut out 25 hearts from the patterned images. The mug (we used to have these mugs back in the day) is a perfect example of looking for colorful images.
Step Five: Finish the collection of 25 backgrounds and 25 hearts. Use a paper punch for the hearts, but you can make a template or cut the hearts free hand for a more rustic collage.
Step Six: Glue down all the pieces. Use a 10 x 10 gallery wrapped canvas but you can use mat board, canvas board, or card board. Use glue stick to attach the hearts to each background and rubber cement to attach them to the canvas.
