Hi, my name is Lanie Evans and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to organize your paper and materials for a collage. Once you've gathered your magazines, books, or recipes, the things you want to use, you're going to want to cut them out and then organize them. So take a look at what I've done here to give you an example. Here I have several color pieces of paper; I have a blue stack of paper that I found. And this is sorting by colors. I have some yellows, some browns, and some pink varieties. This is an easy way to do it I think, if you're using a method mainly based on color. Another kind of collage is doing it like a scene collage. Over here I have a stack of garden pictures that I've gathered over the years from magazines that I want to maybe include in my own home design some day. Over here I have indoor house items, mainly features that I like if I was ever to build a house, this might be some things that I might want to look at. It saves space instead of having 50 magazines to save. You can can save very easily in just a small or a large ziplock baggie, it works great.
