Step 1

Paint the canvas cream and set aside to dry. For this sized canvas cut 49 rectangles 4cm x 5cm from assorted papers making sure there is a wide variety of textures and colours.

Step 2

Create little works of art on each of the rectangles by attaching other paper snippets, torn or cut, stitch through the layers, sew on buttons, beads and sequins, attach eyelets and brads, or attach punched out shapes.

Step 3

When all of the rectangles are completed use double-sided tape to attach to the canvas in rows covering the canvas entirely.
