Make A Picture With Circle Cut Scrapbook Paper

Scrapbook paper is used for many different craft projects besides scrapbook pages. Decorative scrapbook paper can be used to make homemade cards, to decorate plain containers and to make decorative wall art. Make your own mosaic-style picture with circles of scrapbook paper cut from different colors of scrapbook paper and arranged to make a pattern or picture. Frame the art to decorate your wall.


Instructions


1. Punch several circles from the colored scrapbook paper using a circle paper punch. The smaller the paper punch, the more circles you will need.


2. Arrange the circular pieces of scrapbook paper into a design on the 12-by-12 solid colored piece of scrapbook paper. Cover almost the whole sheet of paper with the paper circles. The only paper that should show through is the space between the circles.


3. Glue the circles of scrapbook paper down, one at a time, onto the solid colored scrapbook paper with craft glue. Let the glue dry completely; this will take at least 10 minutes.


4. Frame the picture in a 12-by-12 frame.
