How to Make Collage Papers for Your Journal

Learn how to make collage papers in this quick video tutorial.

Hey Journaling Friend!

I’ve got a quick and easy tutorial for you today to show you how to make collage papers — yay!

I love art journaling, but I don’t love spending a lot of money on art supplies. I’ve found an inexpensive way to create collage papers to add texture and interest to my pages — and it’s so easy you can start doing it TODAY.

Here’s an example of how I use the collage papers in my art journal. The orange/pinkish circles were cut from mixed media paper that I previously painted with acrylic paint.

I simply traced circles using a stencil, then cut them out, glued them on the page, then outlined them with a Sharpie and a pencil. The stamped flowers are also cut from previous art work and added to this layout.

In this quick video I show you a few of my simple techniques for creating your own collage papers. For best results use mixed media paper rather than copy paper.
