Next you want to tear up those pages. First fold the page in half and tear down the center, then fold in half again and tear. Now you will have tons of small rectangles ready to roll.
Start at the edge and tightly roll the page into a cylinder. Secure the end with a piece of tape.
You’re going to need a lot of roll-ups ;) Try to pick magazine pages that have fun colors!
Using the hot glue gun, glue the roll ups onto your silhouette. Don’t worry about covering the smaller sections. Once you trim off the excess roll up you will have smaller pieces that will fit into those tiny spaces quite perfectly!
Trim the excess magazine to reveal your silhouetted shape. Remember, don’t throw away those tiny pieces.
Patch up those paws!
Time to mount your silhouette to a board. We used a thin wood board that we found at the art store. You can use wood, cardboard, illustrator board, etc. You could even go directly on the wall.
This bear is ready to hang.
