Sourcing or drawing your shapes

There are various ways you can create your shapes.

 

1. The easiest is to simply cut out a picture from an old magazine, if you can find one you like, and use that in your collage

2. Perhaps more fun is to look for a picture in a book or magazine or online of something you want to represent

• Next copy or trace it onto a blank sheet of stout card 
• Cut this out, and use it as a template to draw round
• You can then select a favourite piece of decorative or coloured paper, trace your shape, and it cut out

 

 

3. Lastly you can have a go at drawing your own shape. If you're not sure how, we've got some tips on the next page
