Cardboard Collage


Okay, I'm really getting obsessed with cardboard. It's so great to work with--it's light and feels good; it's easy to cut with scissors and doesn't look bad when you cut it freehand; it's cheap and easy to come by. I keep looking at cardboard boxes and thinking...what can I make out of those?




I made this collage out of a Timberland shoebox and some colored cardstock. I just cut the shapes from the shoebox randomly and left curves and notches that were already there. Then I traced some of the shapes onto the cardstock in reverse. I glued the pieces together with the hot glue gun.




I can't wait to do more like this.
