Collage Spread Craft

Assalamu Alaikum everybody!

Todays craft is one that we had completely forgotten about. So lets begin!

The aim of the craft is to start with a plain piece of A4 sized paper/card and get creative with paints, colours, patterned paper/material, ribbons, etc.

For this post we will show you Maryam's and Zainab's spreads and save Hanifah's and Sumayyah's for another Friday, insha'Allah.

Maryam's Spread

It's Maryam! I didn't really have anything planned other than I wanted to include nature in my spread. So I decided to go for a safe light colour for the background, and settled on different shades of pink.

I then stuck on a heart shaped paper doily and some torn patterned paper for some texture.

Then I painted over it again. I didn't know were I was going with it all so I stuck a tree in there to help me, and then, masha'Allah it all started to come together!

I added clouds that ended up becoming mountains in the sky/distance.

I'm happy with the end result alhamdulillah and this craft has definitely made me want to paint more often.

Zainab's Spread

It's Zainab here! I knew I wanted to use a lot of materials and that they would overlap. I chose my patterned papers and decided on a colour for the background that suited them best; which was a mixture of red and brown.

I stuck papers down like so, making them resemble mountains and hills. I used a little patterned tap too.

I felt the middle was a bit bare, so I wrote a quote with a brown pen.

Alhamdulillah, I am happy with the result.

Well that is all for today. We hope you liked our collage spreads and that you give it a go and get creative! Until next Friday, insha'Allah.

Love and wasalaam,
