Layered Collage Tutorial

This is my first tutorial so bear with me. I'll post each day as I'm working on it.

Supplies: Canvas, decorative papers, paper cutter, modge podge or other decoupage glue, brush for glue, xacto knife, colored tissue papers, mulberry paper, scissors, acrylic paints and brushes for paint.

Step 1: Cut decorative papers into 1 inch squares

Step 2: Glue squares onto canvas in a diagonal pattern putting glue only on the bottom, not on top. Let it dry.

Step 3: After it is completely dry trim off any squares that are hanging over the edge

Step 4: Apply a coat of Modge Podge or favorite decoupage glue to the entire canvas. I do not recommend using a sponge brush because they tend to make bubbles on the paper. Do brush the glue on in a diagonal pattern to match the squares.

Tune in tomorrow for more steps and to see the progress of this piece.

P.S. I'm starting to put my jewelry up on etsy. Get it before it's gone!
