Show 107-Torn Paper Art

For supplies you are going to need:

Up to 5 different sheets of scrapbook paper
An inexpensive frame with a cardboard back, if the frame doesn’t have one, you can cut one from a shirt box (this is a great project for a thrifted frame!).
White craft glue or glue dots.
A final accent piece such as a saying, picture, greeting card, photo etc.

1. First Remove glass and cardboard backing from frame and place aside. You won’t need the glass anymore, just the cardboard piece, so you can either recycle the glass, or put it safely away
2. Glue 1st sheet of paper to back of cardboard. This will be the base.
3. Tear your sheets in descending sizes. You may want to play with the order, so don’t tear the pages until you are ready.
4. Use glue dots or white glue to layer the papers and adhere together. Glue all of the papers together with the largest piece in back and smallest piece in front.
5. Rip the edges of your accent piece smaller than the last piece of paper and apply. Let dry and place in frame.

This is a great craft because it is easy to do, is really affordable, and can be embellished with all kinds of items such as photos, drawings, calendar pictures, greeting cards, even copies of baby foot prints.

Thanks for creating with us. Remember, crafting is not about what you can do, but what you can try, here on inside studio 180.
