Nature Collage Craft

Outdoor collages are great for camps, where outdoor materials are easy to find. However, no matter where you live, you will be able to find enough materials to make an outdoor, nature collage. Use a large piece of cardboard, measuring at least 12" x 15". Use the un-printed side of the cardboard. Plan the collage first, drawing a picture lightly on the cardboard. Glue in large, flat areas at first, such as birch bark or sand. Next add items like needles and leaves from trees, hemlock cones, and finally, the real lumpy objects, like pebbles. If scrap fur is available, use this to represent animals. And most importantly...have fun with it.

Get a Lot of Laughs from Making Silly Picture Collages

Make these silly picture collages when there isn't much else to do. These are also a good way to cheer yourself up when you are feeling down about something. Just put a dog's head on a baby's body and you will burst out in laughter. Get a big piece of cardboard, some magazines or Internet picture printouts, some white glue, and some scissors. Then just start making funny picture combinations. You can work hours on the same picture and make a masterpiecr of humour and comedy. Have fun.
