Instructions
  1. First, tear colorful pages from old magazines, then tear the pages into small pieces. Sort the magazine scraps by color into small bowls.

  2. Trace around a cup or bowl to make several 3- to 4-inch circles on the cardboard, then cut them out.

  3. Color Wheel Garland - Step 3 Cover your work surface with waxed paper. Brush Mod Podge or thinned white glue on a portion of a circle, stick a magazine scrap to it, then cover it with more Mod Podge. Add more scraps, overlapping as you go, until the cardboard is covered.

  4. When the collage has dried, trim the overhanging pieces from the cardboard circle. Punch two holes near the edge of each circle and string the circles on a length of yarn.
