Torn Art (Magazines, Ads, Cards)

Want to do something creative with all those magazines and catologues you never look at? Here's the project for you!
It requires very minimal artistic skills, with professional looking results. (Can't go wrong!)
And hey, it's a step up from merely tossing the paper in your recycle bin! You might actually get a nice piece of art out of it.

Here's a list of all you need to begin:

-your canvas (doesn't have to be anything fancy, a piece of cardstock does the job) 
-your glue (again, simple is ideal: go for the glue stick) 
-pencil  or pen
-scissors
And, most importantly: your materials to recycle.
Magazines and catologues are recommended, since the paper is thin and tears easily. 

Step 1 Creating your guide

Start by outlining your basic picture on your canvas. This will undoubtedly end up looking different once your picture is completed so don't stress about making it perfect. All you need is a general guide for the shapes that you want to create.

Label your sections with the colors or color schemes that you want to fill them with. This way, when you search for strips, you will have an idea of what to look for.
