  • Draw an outline of your favourite object – or even yourself – on the paper.
  • Use the magazine, cards and packaging to find lots of small pictures of different objects.
  • You might want to choose a theme for your collage that you think reflects your personality or says something about the things you like.
  • Cut out your objects and glue them into your outline.
