If desired, students can bring bits of thread, ribbons, charms, etc., to add to the collage once the paper has been applied
Students will need to trim the edges and varnish their collage at home after the gel medium has dried thoroughly. Varnish and picture wire will be sent home with the students so that they will have a finished piece of art to hang on their walls. A $25 kit includes all these materials.
