Scraps to Art Challenge is a fun way of using those bits and pieces of scrap paper you have laying around to create works of art.
Master Board -- Use a scrap piece of thin cardboard, card stock, a cereal box (just about anything that is thin and stiff) and start gluing those bits and pieces of paper down you have laying around your art studio. Viola' you have a one-of-a-kind piece of art you can use to make tags, pockets, tucks, bookmarks, belly bands, etc.
Collage -- Basically the same thing as a Master Board. Think of Master Boards with a twist -- you need to use five out of six (or all six) prompts provided to create the collage.
Each week, on Saturday, Pelican Crafts of Long Beach will post a new set of prompts for you to use to create a collage. Collages can be any size you want -- use your creativity to come up with a first-of-a-kind piece of art. Collages can be left as is or used to create tags, pockets, bookmarks, etc. to use in your scrapbook or junk journal.
January 3, 2026 prompts:
a pelican Victorian clothing a dead tree
something painted or a paint chip something with a pattern
BONUS PROMPT: adult beverage
Where do you obtain these items? You can hand draw an image (dead tree, something with a pattern), cut an image out of a book or magazine (a pelican, Victorian clothing), print an image off the internet, or use "junk" that is laying around your home (paint chip). The ideas are endless -- let your imagination run wild and see what you can create.
CHALLENGE: After creating your collage, create a tag or pocket. OR, use a tag or pocket and create a collage with the above items on the tag or pocket.
