DIY Collage Art

Pin It


Seriously loving collage lately. There is something about tearing up little bits of paper and rearranging them that is so satisfying. I made these super-easy little fruit collages, put them in a couple of Ikea frames and viola! Art for the kitchen. How-to is below.


Draw your shape out on cardstock. I started with pencil and then drew with marker to get the shape and size I wanted.


The fun part! Be a kid again and tear up lots of little bits of paper.


I like to rub the litle bits of paper along the glue stick and stick down on the paper but you can also rub some glue on the paper and stick down.


Keep glueing and sticking down, overlapping as you go, until the shape is filled in. Don't worry about being perfect! It is supposed to look a bit rustic. Rub the glue stick over the top when you are finished.


Stamp some labels on if you want.



Frame, hang up and enjoy!
