A "Sticky" Collage of Fun

Collages are fun to make, you just never know what you are going to find to add to it. One of our most recent Art Playdates was making a "Sticky" Collage. You will need the following items:

  • A sheet of contact paper (best size is 11X17 because it is large enough where you can place different objects on top). If you don't have contact paper, that is fine, you can glue the objects onto a sheet of construction paper. Contact paper just gives less of a mess.
  • Different objects (squares of tissue paper, pom-poms balls, feathers, really anything that you can find or cut out of paper or fabric).
  • First you will need to cut the contact paper to the desired size. Peel the backing of the contact paper and lay the sticky side up. Next gather different items that you would like to add to your collage. Place those items on the contact paper and the design begins.

Where can you get contact paper?

You can get at any store that sells shelf paper. It is in the same general area. It will be clear, somewhat foggy looking. They also offer another type of shelf paper that is white. If you would use a white shelf paper then you would not see through it.
