Step one

Take your first piece of card or paper and draw out your shape. We've provided a bolt, flower and star template if you wish to print this off and use as a guide.

Step two

Cut out your shape.

Step three

Place the sheet of card with your cut out on top of another single piece of card and lightly draw inside the shape of your cut out.

Step four

Remove the top sheet with the cut out and place it to the side.

Step five

Cut out shapes from coloured card or magazines and begin to stick them down inside your penciled shape. You'll want to make sure the collage shapes go over the edges of the pencil line. When you place your top sheet back on top, you won't be able to see any overlaps or edges.

Step six

You can check how you collage is starting to look by laying the cut out sheet over the top. Simply continue adding interesting shapes and colours, building your collage up until the area is filled.

Finally stick or simply place the top sheet into position ready to be framed for the walls.
