Think of a theme that you want to create on your collage. Your school project may be about animals, cars, people, books or anything else.
Look through old magazines and newspapers to find pictures and words that work well with your theme. For example, if your project is about the jungle you will want to find pictures of jungle animals, and lush green plants and flowers. You may also want to look for words such as "wild" to describe what you are trying to portray with pictures.
Cut out the pictures that you choose with scissors.
Arrange the pictures on a piece of poster board or cardboard.
Glue the pictures into place.
Embellish your collage with other items. Use markers, stickers, drawings or any other decorations that you may have to make the collage look the way you want.
