Self Care : A Collage A Day

One of the best tools for getting in your own true zone.  In this post, I’m sharing a fun creative self care tool to use everyday for 1 continuous month.  Self care, a collage a day.

A collage a day, keeps the blues away.  Facts.  Also kickstarts your creativity, gives you a great 20 minute me-time for manifesting, visualizing & you doing you.  The absolute beautiful truth about collaging is that you can not mess up.  Anything you create is perfect.  Truly the all-inclusive art form, any one can collage and create and not mess up!

I was going through a rough time when I was inspired by a friend sharing a post on Instagram of a woman flipping through her notebook of collages.  I . am . here . for . it!  This is something light to focus on & couldn’t wait to get started.

Self Care ❤️

A Collage a Day

After just a couple of days of collaging, I was looking forward to creating and was actively seeking out interesting paper, tape & inspirations.  Best part, the collage itself is always so rewarding.  You never know where your collage will lead, the end surprise is the best :)). You’ll be so proud :))

What you Need & Inspirations

When collaging, I have only 3 needs:

1. notebooks.  I really appreciate the luscious paper, the binding (!), the covers.  Trust me, the notebooks matter.  They need to hold up to all the handling, glue etc.  I buy my notebooks here & here and any time I’m traveling.
2. I only use tiny little scissors from Martha Mae.  They work brilliantly.  Xacto knives & matte boards also come highly recommended.  I have both, but don’t use either.  I just rip the image out and use my tiny scissors to fine tune.
3. Lastly, glue.  I use the large stick glue.

Here are a couple of collage inspiration resources :

• this awesome collage artist on youtube, It’s amazing how effortlessly Luis creates with paper scraps and he has a great chill vibe to create in.  He sells a fun collage packet.
• here’s my board of collage inspirations.  I’ve been curating this board since the day I joined Pinterest, a decade now??
