Cut, tear, layer, and glue your way to a finished piece — no experience needed, just bring your curiosity.

Most-needed supplies — feel free to bring extras from your own stash

• Assorted paper — old magazines, scrapbook paper, tissue paper
• A sturdy backing board or heavy cardstock
• Sharp scissors
• Glue stick and/or white glue
• A pencil, for sketching your layout first
• A small container for water (if using paint or gel medium)
