In this class you will be using colorful paper and upcycled materials (old jewelry, ribbon, lace, etc.) to make UNIQUE and fun gift cards and picture frames! No talent or experience required!

Use whatever you have on hand! Old wrapping paper, paper bags, magazine photos, any bits and pieces you’d like to collage with!

You can bring a personal memento (picture, letter, poem or book pages, illustrations, etc.) if you want to incorporate those into your projects, but is not required.

Prepare to have a good time! Depending on your pace, each participant will be making approximately one to four cards and one or two wood picture frames.

Materials to bring:

Scissors

White glue (Elmers is fine)

Brown paper bags

Thick paper (or cardboard) if you have it

Used or new wrapping papers, tissue paper, colored paper

Pictures from magazines

Pens, crayons, or colored pencils

Anything you want to put a collage on; like a box, picture frame, table top, etc.
