STICKY COLLAGE

2. Materials
•5” x 9” cardstock
•Scissors
•2” x 2” white paper (for
measuring
•Various colors of
peelable sticky paper.

3. Step 1: Measuring
Before pieces are
attached we need to
make sure they are
measured correctly.
Using the 2” x 2” white
paper place cut out
shape on top. If it goes
over the edges it is too
big.

4. Measuring Continued
If the cut out shape fits
inside our white square
then it is the right size.

5. Step 2: Peeling
When attaching a new
shape to our collage
carefully peel white
backing from color.

6. Step 3: Attaching
Begin with a rectangle
and attach to one of the
corners of cardstock.

7. Attaching Continued
Alternate between
different shapes,
connecting one to the
previous.
It is ok to overlap a little
bit to begin but try to
keep to a minimum
until later.

8. Attaching Continued
After 8 to 10 shapes
have been attached to
one side of paper begin
on the opposite side
with new shapes.

9. Attaching Continued
Switching from side to
side helps to balance
the collage.

10. Attaching Continued
When the left side and
right sides touch then
begin to fill in empty
spaces.

11. Attaching Continued
As more shapes are
added feel free to
overlap more with
smaller shapes.

12. Step 4: Finish
When finishing collage
very carefully begin to
scan over entire piece
looking for any small
spaces that are not
covered.
Once finished hang on
wall.
