How to Make a Brighton Beach Bathing Box Collage:

Background

1. Tear the yellow Cover Paper in half across the width of the paper (landscape).

2. Glue one half of the yellow Cover Paper across the bottom of the red Cover Paper. The red becomes the sky and the yellow the sand.

3. Tear long strips of blue Cover Paper and glue these thin strips across the red Cover Paper.

4. Cut out a circle of Cartridge Paper and cover it with swirls of yellow and red Oil Pastel to represent the sun.

5. Use Zart Drawing Blocks to create lines of colour that cover the red sky.

6. Glue the sun on to the red sky.

7. Cover the entire background with Liquid Glitter.

Bathing Box

1. Use strips of Corrugated Wave Card, Corrugated Ripple Card and Corrugated Card to create a colourful bathing box. Begin by overlapping the strips to create the box. Use the plain Corrugated Card for the roof, door and step.

2. Decorate the box with shapes cut out of Metallic Embossed Paper.

3. Glue the bathing box to the background.

4. Collage other shapes of things you might find or take to the beach on to the background.
