You can start organizing your collage materials on the bottom before you decide to glue it together. This will help you to organize on how you would like your collage to appear. Then start sticking them down throughout the bottom. Feel free to use a pair of scissors or utility knife to cut the things you're using into the desired designs and sizes. You can also experiment with tearing your items. Once your collage items are all in place, set it aside and allow it to dry.
Collage artist can be anybody who would like to create a collage. Don't forget, collage is more of trying out different mediums, shades, and pictures than following step-by-step instructions. The more you play around with making collages, the more ideas you're going to get. Great job you're now a collage artist!
