Fill the entire paper, except for your shape, with overlapping pieces of paper, tape, and other flat materials. Now it’s time to get busy cutting and tearing paper to collage. You could trace your shape right in the middle of the paper, or see how it looks off-center. This is just to give you a basic guide for creating your collage. You can freehand draw, use a stencil, or make your own tracer with another piece of paper. Lightly draw your shape on the background paper. Older kids might like to work with a more challenging shape, like a flower, animal, hand, or initial. If you are doing this project with little ones, a circle, heart, or triangle might be good to try. Simple large shapes are easier to collage around than small, intricate shapes.
