COLLAGE MOBILES

Collage Mobiles!


Supplies:

  • Pieces of white (or color) card stock cut into rectangles of various sizes ~ 8 1/2" x 2", 8" x 1", 7" x 1/2", etc.
  • Have maybe about 12 pieces, different sizes, can repeat some sizes too
  • A variety of painted and patterned papers ~ could have a theme ~ a season, a holiday, etc.  For our samples we chose red, white and blue for the Fourth of July
  • scissors
  • glue sticks
  • hot glue gun
  • ribbon or yarn like material, about 60" in length ~ you can always shorten or length it depending on how high your place is from which you will be hanging your mobile
  • paper punches ~ we used a star one

Procedures:

Using the glue stick, cover your rectangles with a variety of collage papers ~ mix, match and have fun! 

You can add other craft trims as well if you like ~ we added some stickers and little ribbon foo foos!

Most of us chose to do something to both sides of the rectangles since the mobile moves with air currents and can be viewed from both sides

When finished, hot glue the collage rectangles in place on your ribbon/yarn like material.

Hang up and enjoy!

We enjoyed this project so much that we plan to make some interesting ones for Autumn!
