How to Glue Newspaper to Collage Art
Collages are collections of repurposed artwork that have been cut into various shapes and assembled into patterns. Anything can be cut into smaller pieces and arranged into a collage. Magazines, bits of fabric, pieces of books and other materials are common choices. Newspapers are full of various types of text and images, making them ideal choices for a collage. These papers are very thin and fragile when compared to glossy magazines or sturdy books, so they present some unique difficulties.
