3D Collage House
My children and I love collage art projects, they are so easy to set up and great for all ages. Also, collage is so open-ended, there is no right or wrong way to glue bits and pieces of paper to cardboard!
With these 3D collage houses, they are extra fun as you can stand them up and play with them. Try making a model of your house or maybe a secret super hero hide out or maybe a fairy castle!
MATERIALS:
- Cardboard for the base
- Craft glue
- Craft knife
- Scissors
- Materials to collage: scraps of coloured paper, old paintings, wooden craft sticks, paper straws, pipe cleaners, feathers, beads, items from the recycling bin like bread bag tags or bottle tops.
HOW TO:
Begin by cutting out 2 house shapes from your cardboard using a craft knife. Ours measured 25x40cm. In the middle of each house cut slots for the house to join together. On one house cut the slot from the top to the middle and on the other house cut the slot from the bottom to the middle.
Then begin decorating your house with collage. Don't glue anything over the central slots of your houses otherwise they won't fit together! Once the glue has dried, decorate the other side as well.
Then assemble your house and play!

+About Us
Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,Eleanor Ford.If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creatingMINI MAD THINGS.As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES.
