Last Minute Christmas Collage

I had an opening on one of my walls. It really needed something. Something Christmas-y.

What do I do? For I did not have anything on hand, nor the money to buy a Christmas brand…

(Rhyming… it’s a Christmas thing. Everyone should always Rhyme during Christmas.)

Actually,  I did have some scraps on hand. So Lucy, Mary and I pulled our scraps, junk and creativity together and made this Christmas collage. Here is a brief “How-to” incase you want to make one. It was really easy, and cheap.

First, I went looking for an unused frame. I knew I had a couple… I just had to find one that would work.

Next, we pulled out all of our holiday craft paper, wrapping paper, Christmas bags and the like. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to draw or paint anything so I was hoping I would find a scene large enough on one of the things we pulled together to put inside of the frame. I didn’t (darn it).

Light bulb.

Why not put together a collage using all of the pictures we liked?! It would be so easy and unique and colorful. It would bring together all of the things about Christmas we love and enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So we started cutting out details and arranging them on the frame.

 

 

 

 

Then I thought that I would like to incorporate a poem or scripture to remind me what this Holiday is really about. Which really was a good idea because the frame was going to go about our really nice and expensive Nativity (just kidding, it is Fisher Price). Way to pull them both together Janet. Thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So after a few snips and tucks we used our gluesticks and scrapbooking tape to secure all of the elements of our collage. And here you have it. The final product.
