Servings: 1
Cost: $8
Equipment
- Scissors
Ingredients
- Cardstock paper in assorted colors
- Dry adhesive sheets or craft adhesive or liquid glue
- Photo frame optional
Instructions
- Sketch your design.
- Using colored cardstock, cut out a variety of shapes. Try mixing different forms like circles, triangles, squares, crescents and abstract shapes. Don’t worry about perfection because slightly irregular shapes give a playful, handmade look. Tip: Trace household objects (like cups or vases) to make perfect circles.
- Apply adhesive by peeling back the film from your adhesive sheet and press the paper shapes onto the sticky surface. Then, peel them off to create easy “stickers” for your artwork.
- Arrange the shapes onto your cardstock background. (We opted for a white background.) Press down firmly so everything adheres smoothly.
- Place the finished artwork inside your frame and hang it on your wall.
