![]() ![]() Many times creativity is the best material you have. What I represented here does not require a wide range of materials. When they were happy with their tissue paper collage, I covered it with another piece. Maybe I will return to my tissue paper stash some other time to try those. Make a simple tissue paper cross to put in your window for Easter. When creating this also some other ideas came to my mind. It looks like there are lots of layers even if the structure is fairly simple. Here’s a detail of the finished tissue paper collage. After gluing the elements create new details with markers and color pencils ( image 4). But if you make collages or scrapbook the matte gel medium is a good investment. If you do not have gel medium, you can use PVC glue with some water. I always use matte gel medium to glue the elements together ( image 3). Use the white paper between layers to create color variation and lighter shades. Then glue the pieces together to create small clusters ( image 2). Grab some white paper (I used a thin marker paper) and cut small pieces of that too ( image 1). I have some instructions for the backgrounds: see a patterned paper with layers or the frugal version using fewer supplies.Ĭut the papers into small pieces. This background is made using acrylics, stencils and color mists but you can use any techniques for the background. I grabbed some of my handmade background papers. You can use plain white paper as a background, but I could not do that. White pens or correction pens can be used for the decoration too.įinally, you’ll have something quite different from the original solid colored papers! The actual making of a collage can now begin. If you have alcohol inks, they add color and interest, especially when layered. This way you have created a paper that you can use either side up in your artwork. You can add finer details on both sides ( steps 3 and 4). I always use various thicknesses of pens as it makes the decoration more interesting. Create color motifs on one side ( step 1), then turn the paper and do the same there ( step 2). ![]() The great thing about tissue paper is that you can use both sides and create interesting layers. It is just a bit easier to draw with the markers on the thin tissue paper than with sharp pencils. You can also use color pencils if you do not have any markers. I used PITT pens, but any markers will do really. Alcohol-based markers are best for the job. Decorating Tissue PapersĪs I love to make my own collage elements, I began with decorating the tissue papers. ![]() I had some tissue paper in the storage, and when I went to fetch them, several ideas came to my mind. The idea for the tissue paper collage came from a visual arts teacher who sent me an email asking if I had any ideas about creating art using tissue papers and markers. Here’s what I did today: the collage of spring flowers using tissue papers! ![]()
