Paper Mosaic Flower Frame

Pick out a picture, draw out basic shapes on the frame, then cut out colored paper shapes to match the colors of the picture. Slightly sand frame and paint white or any color you wish. Overlap paper pieces whenever needed, it's difficult to butt them up to one another and match them perfectly and overlapping gives it more depth. You can also photo-copy the picture to 100% of your frame and trace the flowers, then trace each piece you want to cut out. Little kids could do this project with less complicated shapes like simple petals and leaves, suns, moons, stars, clouds, or geometric shapes and making patterns.

I have also done paper mosaic by drawing the flower on paper mache boxes and then tearing the paper in little pieces and making it into a actual mosaic. Here is a picture of a project I'm working on using that technique.

Glue on all the pieces of paper using Mod Podge then cover entire piece once again with Mod Podge. Let dry completely.
