Collage Star Garlands

Turn your favorite paper scraps into a festive, one-of-a-kind decoration! In this hands-on collage workshop, you'll create a star garland using colorful papers, vintage imagery, book pages, patterned scraps, and other delightful ephemera. Think collected treasures, playful patterns, and handmade holiday decor with plenty of personality.

Experiment with color, texture, and pattern as you create a collection of collage stars to create a festive garland. Layer vintage imagery with bold colors, mix unexpected patterns, or lean into a nostalgic holiday aesthetic. Whether you love carefully coordinated designs or a more eclectic look, you'll have plenty of room to experiment and make something that's uniquely yours.

No previous collage experience is necessary. We'll provide all the materials and inspiration you need to get started, with plenty of room to explore and follow your creative instincts.

Best of all, you'll leave with a handmade star garland ready to hang in your home, decorate your holiday celebrations, or give as a thoughtful handmade gift.
