How to Make a Construction Paper Collage of a Star

Making collages allows you to express yourself. You can gather all of the items together and arrange them in such a way as to make a statement. An adolescent or teen can make a collage of her favorite musician or Hollywood star, while a younger child can make a collage of a beloved character, such as Barney or Elmo. This is a more distinctive, personal alternative to a store-bought poster of the celebrity.

Things You'll Need

• Construction paper
• Hollywood gossip magazines
• Scissors
• Glue stick

Instructions

1. Collect some Hollywood gossip magazines that are sure to have your favorite star in them.

2. Cut out various pictures of your favorite star. Get him in different outfits, different clothing, and in poses with his friends.

3. Clip letters from the magazines that can spell out a saying your favorite star is famous for. For example, if you were making a collage of Arnold Schwarzenegger, you would cut out words to spell "I'll be back."

4. Cut out anything that reminds you of your celebrity. This could be a set of big lips for Angelina Jolie or a microphone for Miley Cyrus. If your star is a musician, include a picture of his instrument. If your star is an athlete, include pictures of his sports gear.

5. Arrange your pictures on a piece of construction paper. Overlap the pictures so that none of the construction paper is showing.

6. Glue the pictures on one at a time, using a glue stick.

7. Allow the collage an hour to dry. Hang with some sticky tack so you don't ruin the collage.
