Tear or cut your found materials into interesting shapes. Once all the shapes are cut, find a piece of cardboard and have an adult help you cut it into a large circle. Paint your cardboard circle Black. Use Mod Podge or Elmers glue to collage your found materials into a composition by layering shapes and colors. You can also paint a thin coat of glue on top of your composition for a glossy resin-like effect!
