Collages! ✂

Around two weeks ago, I wrote about doing eco friendly things when you're bored. One of the things I mentioned was art. However, I didn't write much about art and so I thought I'd focus on something today: collages.

These are some of the collages my mum and I have made
I really like making collages. Why? Because you can make anything with them- you have an infinite amount of ways. What I do, is cut out loads of colours and put them together to make a rainbow-y type of pattern. My most recent one was the rainbow I made for the NHS; it was shaped as a rainbow (obviously) and each colour was made up of different pictures that I'd cut up.

Doing collages like these are eco-friendly because you can use old newspapers and magazines, - for example; I have a whole collection of The Week Junior Magazine that are waiting to be cut up and put into a collage- cut out pictures and letters and stick them in any way you want on a piece of paper or card (it could even be a big bit from your scrap paper box that I mentioned last week๐Ÿ˜€) and you've created a piece of artwork that you can keep or give to people as presents! And the best thing is; it rarely ever looks bad, and none are ever the same.

I hope you like this artsy tip, even if you don't really like art๐Ÿ˜…. Hope you're all well, and also Happy Easter!
