Making a collage with words and pictures

Materials:  Magazines, newspapers, printed images, glue sticks, scissors, markers, and a sturdy surface like cardstock or journal page.

 Choose themes or intentions that harmonize and call to what you wish for yourself and loved ones.

• A dream or wish you have

• A visual journal of your current thoughts

• A tribute to a person, place, or thing important to you

• A mood or emotion you want to express

 Find Words and Images

• Look through magazines, old books, and printed articles for words and phrases that inspire you.

• Search for images that spark inspiration—colors, textures, symbols, or photographs.

• Handwrite notes, affirmations, dreams, plans.

4. Arrange and Layer

• Start moving words and images around on a page in the work-in-progress booklet.

• Experiment with overlapping and layering to create depth and movement.

5. Glue Your Work

• Glue down your pieces and add any final touches with words and drawings.

6. Reflect and share

• Take a moment to look at your collage and notice what stands out.

• Share it with friends or keep it private as personal reflections.
