It\u2019s relatively inexpensive, it gets students hands-on, and there are so many ways to do it. However, we all know it has its challenges.

The key is to provide a variety of colors, textures, and sources to create visual interest. Collect discarded artwork instead of tossing it in the recycle bin, or make painted paper as a \u201cfree day\u201d or early finisher activity. Provide small envelopes with a clasp enclosure for students to glue onto the inside cover of their sketchbook. This is a great place to store those extra little papers that haven\u2019t made it onto the final artwork yet!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_468008\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-468008\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-468008\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BisaButlerCollage-Ana-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"collage with sheet music\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BisaButlerCollage-Ana-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BisaButlerCollage-Ana-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BisaButlerCollage-Ana-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BisaButlerCollage-Ana.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-468008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image courtesy of Erin Simpson-Krar<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Here are some tips and hacks for everything paper:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"special-list\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Source newspapers, books, and magazines.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We all know these items are staples for collage. However, as the world is going digital, it\u2019s harder than ever to collect paper copies. Stop by retirement homes, doctor\u2019s offices, and the library. Many of these places still receive newspapers and magazines and are more than happy to donate old copies to your program! The library often has free books up for grabs, too. Offer to display the finished collages in their space for a meaningful way to say \u201cthank you.\u201d Another clever spot to grab newspapers is to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aoIiugfsmro?si=hEvKd-qMaA-io-Jk&amp;t=187\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">call your local newspaper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. They often have extra copies or rolls of newsprint.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Ask to repurpose outdated textbooks.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many large districts have warehouses where they house outdated equipment and supplies. Call around and see if there are any old textbooks they are willing to drop off for you. Many textbooks have excellent photographs and thicker, glossier pages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Collect sheet music.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reach out to your music department or local music stores. They can donate old books of sheet music and start collecting discarded pieces of sheet music. These make really fun elements in collage work!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Snag brochures and maps.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anytime you\u2019re at a restaurant, museum, or travel stop, grab a few! The pages are often thick with colorful images.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Think out of the box for unexpected papers.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are so many papers we use every day that we may not think of as collage paper. Walk around your home and classroom and put aside gift wrap tissue paper, worn sandpaper, wallpaper, wrapping paper, contact paper, or even wax paper. Printed napkins even have super fun patterns, so don\u2019t forget to bring in extras after your next dinner party!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Make a call for holiday catalogs.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As November nears, email parents asking them to send in their seasonal gift and toy catalogs. While most shopping is digital, many larger companies still send out catalogs at this time of year. Students love flipping through to find images of products they love.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Substrate Hacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The surface you choose for students to create collages on matters. Thick paper or matboard can get pricey and warp. One way to minimize warping is to paint the back to encourage the board to bend the other way. Press dry paper collages under stacks of heavy books over the weekend to get them to lie flat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-468012\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8422-1024x509.jpg\" alt=\"collage on wood\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8422-1024x509.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8422-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8422-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8422.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b>Take a look at these tips and hacks for materials to create your collage on:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"special-list\">\n<li><b>Scout scrap wood at the hardware store.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many hardware stores will donate marred sheets of plywood or luan to your program\u2014and often, they\u2019ll cut it down to size for you too! If your hardware store offers a cutting service, there is usually a pile of scrap wood nearby that\u2019s up for grabs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Gather old canvases.<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep canvases that your students no longer want. Rummage through yard sales or the thrift store for cheap home decor canvases. Collage right on top! Be sure to remind students to wrap their image around the sides as they collage for a seamless piece.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Recycle food packaging.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heavy-duty cardboard boxes make for a sturdy substrate, but cereal boxes work perfectly too! Ask each student to bring in a cereal box. Carefully open them up so they lie flat and cut them down with your paper cutter. Each box will give you two large surfaces for a collage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Reimagine your pinch pot unit.<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pinch pots are a <a href=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/2024\/04\/march-no-wheel-no-problem-5-functional-handbuilding-clay-projects-students-love\/\">foundational clay unit<\/a> and skill. Before you know it, you end up with hundreds of identical pinch pots! Reimagine your pinch pot lesson and require students to collage on top of their bisqueware. It\u2019s a fun way to finish their pots, use up collage material, and merge two art forms into one!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Adhesive Hacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking of sticking with it, adhesive is an important part of collage. It can be easy to assume all students know how to use a glue stick. Just like with any medium or supply, it\u2019s important to teach and review how to use the material. A few extra minutes at the beginning of each class will save you headaches (and budget money!) later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_468007\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-468007\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-468007\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Erin-Simpson-Krar-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"glue stick friends\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Erin-Simpson-Krar-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Erin-Simpson-Krar-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Erin-Simpson-Krar-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Erin-Simpson-Krar.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-468007\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image courtesy of Erin Simpson-Krar<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Let\u2019s take a look at some glue tips and hacks:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"special-list\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Draw happy faces on your glue sticks.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This one sounds silly\u2014but it works! Erin Simpson-Krar, a middle school art teacher, lets her students <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/community.theartofeducation.edu\/posts\/10-31425-%F0%9F%92%99-weeklygiveaway\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">name the glue sticks and draw faces on them<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Students are more likely to take care of their glue stick \u201cfriends.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Assemble glue sponges for younger artists.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This one is virtually mess-free and great for our littlest artists who are still learning fine motor skills. Collect containers with lids (recycled takeout containers work well) and put a cheap sponge in each. Soak each sponge with a 3:1 glue-to-water mixture. Students <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/u7TUabb60Cc?si=R_FPhQ7Y7ud9wpEn&amp;t=104\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">press their paper shape onto the top of the sponge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and then stick it to their paper.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Try a bottle with a brush applicator for older elementary and middle school students.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Order some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/u7TUabb60Cc?si=K3OcEclL90hoJYor&amp;t=174\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cheap plastic bottles with brush applicator lids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Pour regular liquid glue into the bottles. A hack for this tip is to use small recycled jars with lids (yogurt jars and baby food containers are excellent) and disposable cotton swabs. Students can apply the glue directly to their collage pieces without damaging brushes or lengthy cleanup. This is perfect for students who aren\u2019t quite ready to use a real paintbrush to apply glue, yet you want to eliminate glue lines under their collage elements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Coat the final collage for a clean finish.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taking this extra step really ensures the artwork looks polished and professional. It adds a protective sheen and eliminates pieces getting caught or falling off. Simply brush on a clear sealant in a matte or satin finish. Use two or three very thin layers, moving the brush in opposite directions each time to prevent visible strokes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Collage Challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that you have several tips and hacks up your sleeve, you need project ideas! A collage can be a quick 5-10 minute bellringer exercise, a short one-day activity, or a longer, more intricate unit. Collage is also a fantastic way to introduce modern and contemporary artists and prompt students to transform a common material, like paper, in a novel way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-468014\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pears-collage-methods-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"pears collage methods\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pears-collage-methods-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pears-collage-methods-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pears-collage-methods-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pears-collage-methods.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b>Switch your usual collage projects up with these four engaging twists:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"special-list\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>No Scissors Day!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Challenge students to create a collage using only their hands.

Students collect all the paper they use for one day that they would normally throw away. (Remember to sanitize items.) Examples can include food wrappers, packaging, receipts, flyers, tickets, and doodles.

It empowers students to transform everyday paper into meaningful, layered works of art. With its tactile nature and endless possibilities, collage keeps students excited about art! Use the hacks above to minimize cleanup and stretch your budget, while also expanding your thinking about paper and substrate sources.
