Collage/Scrap Art Tiles

[@juneribbons5196]

OMG Shannon. This is stunningly beautiful. You could use it in so many ways. I absolutely love it !!!! I'm making junk journals and need awesome ideas like this for their covers. No two would be alike. I've got a cereal box ready and the bottoms of paper grocery bags covers to make into covers . I can see something like this for them. My great granddaughter loves to craft with me espically if it includes painting.

[@reeree6682]

AGAIN, my friend!!! You did it again! I started my version about the time the music started! Love it!!!

[@lalagamma4452]

Even more georgous then scrapbook or other papers you would have purched. I don't know what it is there's just something about crafts made from scratch all the little bits and pieces brings it to life. You are so good at this. I wish I could just come and hang out with you once a week to crafts and visit. You are so perky you make me feel happy every time I see you or listen to one of your videos.TFS!! 🌰XO❤XO🎃XO❤🍁

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh that's so nice of you to say, thank you!

Your voice sounds just like My friend from Texas.I enjoy listening to you and I really needed to watch this today, because I've been very depressed lately about my job and all the demented rules placed on us that make it difficult to function.I've been a collage maker for decades, but havn't made much time to work on it lately.You have inspired me.Thank you!😘

[@elisafrye2115]

Kristina Mullen I send you a BIG CYBER HUG! -art really has also helped me pull myself out of that dark pit we all fall into now and then but especially now in Covid 19 World. And Shannon is such a wonderful, spirit-lifting help! 💕😇💕

[@elisafrye2115]

Your generous gift of reaching out to us and sharing your joyful talent is such a precious gift in the crazy-mixed-up world we all face today. 🥇💕🏆 I send tons of loving thanks! 🥰🥳🥰

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you so very much!

[@Katyoparty]

How fun is this?!?! I had to laugh when you said "less isn't more and more isn't more either"-- I totally get that. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@ShannonGreen]

I never know when to stop...so I don't!

[@BonnyAndClive]

I've watched this before but just watched it again because those little squares are so darn delicious. Hint hint time to make some more for us ;)

[@ShannonGreen]

LOL You might be right!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Well you are a woman after my own heart! I just love how you keep going and going..... and going...... until there is no room for anything else on the page! Way too much fun ❤️❤️❤️

[@ShannonGreen]

High five sista!

[@amyclolinger-obryant2256]

You are so talented and so cool, and I love your style of art. So glad to have found your channel. You have inspired me beyond words. 💜

[@ShannonGreen]

I’m so happy to hear that, thank you!

[@MugsyMakes]

I love this so much. It is very comforting to use your scraps and to collage them into one large piece. A very Zen process. Yours turned out beautiful. The colours are very vibrant against each other and I love that!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks very much!

[@kimbazzani8697]

Wow they looked awesome all cut up loved the video thanks for sharing 😊

@@ShannonGreen your welcome 🦋

[@adrinem4513]

I sure do love this! I have a bunch of scraps plus scrapbook paper I don’t care for and tons of cardboard boxes. What a great idea to use them up. I love how your tiles turned out and watching the process was super inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks very much for watching, Adrine!

[@gionun8950]

Love this so much. Never throwing out cereal boxes ever again.

[@ShannonGreen]

Woo hoo!

[@susanyee1]

Thank you for sharing your talents....and humor! I always feel inspired watching you create!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks so much Susan!

[@allthumbs3792]

Love how this turned out, looks like fun as well. So many possibilities. I'll never look at an empty cereal box in the same way.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks so much!

[@Cals-All-Crafts]

so need to do this, think it will be a project for me and daughter Jessie to do, tfs big hugs Caroline xxx

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh this would be a great one for the two of you!

[@myfragilelilac]

I remember when we did this in art school. We used tempera paint. The idea was to find some kind of pattern. Repetition. I think its a great idea to use scrap and trash. I try to do that as well, because i dislike throwing stuff. I like sustainability.

[@crystalwithartitout8821]

Always fun to use up those scraps.Thanks for sharing!!

[@ShannonGreen]

[@kristinamullen4066]

I hate when people ask what I'm going to do with something?Why can't they understand that its just for fun?I don't know if you can break through the mental brick walls that so many have.I work with dementia patients, and some just enjoy, but some have to have an end "product".

[@lottiefaith6935]

It's so nice to work along with you again, Shannon, it sure comes out nice in the end. : )

[@ShannonGreen]

I'm so glad!!

Peeling off little glue socks, so satisfying, you crack me up!! Thank you

[@doubleblessings-royalcrowr1669]

Less is not more, more is not more either. Ok, what is it?

[@ShannonGreen]

Honestly I have no idea! I really have very little control over what comes outta my mouth.

[@saayleepatankar4969]

Beautiful 👍

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you!

[@karenstclair9420]

It's like watching glue dry...LOL! Love your vids!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks Kare!

[@toniakoblens7486]

Hi Shannon, I have just discovered your youtube channel and I am binge watching your videos. Love the journals for no reason other than having fun. I am trying to silence the voice on my shoulder which tells me the stuff I make have to "mean" something. These scrap art tiles are great. Now I know why I have been saving all those little pieces! Thanks, I learn a lot with your videos. Hugs from the Netherlands.

[@DonnaHarris3578]

I love it! I think his will be my next project as soon as I finish my junk journal, only a few pages left to go!

[@ShannonGreen]

These little things are addictive!

[@tiasmom6225]

Very nice Shannon!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks Ruth!

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

[@patriciaollinger4249]

Love your darn fine mess. Will try this. Thanks

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching Patricia!

[@Judymontel]

I'm sure I'll get even more great ideas as you go along, but using that napkin to tie things together is probably going to save a stack of almost done collages I have sitting around... thanks!!... oh, just watched some more - that's gorgeous!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching Judith!

[@yasminemagane4327]

[@lisamorales3914]

It’s almost midnight, and I have to go to sleep, but tomorrow I’m doing this!

[@ShannonGreen]

Go for it!

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Love this! I got my journal covers and put a video on my channel for you. I'm not sure how to tag you in it. I LOVE my ❤️SG tag that was included! Ive got my own celebrity autograph and handmade item!!! 😍😍 I showed my husband and he was not impressed. 😂 Thanks for sharing your creative journey!

[@ShannonGreen]

My husband isn't very impressed with me either! LOL I just watched your video and I sure do appreciate all your kind words! I'm so glad you like your Custom Keepers and hope you have fun with them!

[@melodyjwilloughby]

Luv the colors!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks Melody!

[@terrioleson6296]

Gluing is relaxing. Great pieces to add to alot of stuff. Wouldn't it look great to tile one of those inexpensive wooden boxes or either a paper mache box? Gluing is my chill pill as is peeling the glue off my fingers afterwards. Lol

[@ShannonGreen]

OH those are great ideas! I actually sewed a few of these together the other day but can't decide what to do with them...yet ;)

[@kristinamullen4066]

Great idea for gluing tiles onto wooden boxes!

[@danaruEverwander]

i love that ! makes me wish my Etsy order that i ordered July 8th would show up (

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@rossiej100]

Looks great, Shannon! My collage treasure box is empty after my big clear out.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching Ros!

[@ashmaxer]

I really loved watching this. What do you suggest to cut it into Art tiles etc with if using a cereal box? Is paper trimmer strong enough or should I use scissors? If I use scrap book paper as the base and with the layers of scrap perhaps paper trimmer is not strong enough too?

[@ShannonGreen]

I would probably use a rotary cutter with a ruler on a cutting mat. Most likely a paper trimmer would give you problems with all the layers. I usually prefer a rotary cutter over an exacto knife because it's much easier to lean into the rotary cutter to apply more pressure for thick stuff.

[@connieirick3895]

Thanks it was fun seeing it come together. I don't know if I could cut it up. What do you do with the tiles that you cut up?thank you for all of the videos that you make and share. 👍🏻👏🏻❤️

[@ShannonGreen]

They can be used in mosaics but I give mine away as little art tiles...like an ATC.

[@waukonstandard]

Would make a gorgeous journal cover!

[@ShannonGreen]

I agree!

[@Rosecitycrafterdarylhallfan]

Shannon, i make my tiles from toilet paper,then paint on a design. i should do this also. thanks for sharing. VERONICA

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh that's very cool Veronica!

[@cheryllangdon6699]

Hi! I just saw this video, & it looks way too fun!! I was wondering if Elmer"s School Glue would work for this. If so, would you dilute it the same way? I have a lot of it, & I want to use it up on something, Thank you for your awesome videos. I can't wait to start doing many of your ideas. I just LOVE what you do!!

[@ShannonGreen]

It will work and to dilute or not dilute is totally up to you. I find if I dilute it just a tad it's easier to spread.

[@arlenemraz4607]

Great idea for us scrapaholics..."...........mraz

[@ShannonGreen]

Absolutely!

[@nadiac.7503]

It could actual be used for an album because it already has a built in spine with the front and back cover all in one piece or even a junk journal.

[@ShannonGreen]

Definitely!

[@shaych03]

i do love how creative you are with bits and pieces :) i've been watching some videos lately that made me think of you. have you run into the acrylic pour videos where an artist mixes some kind of catalyst into the paint (sometimes like window cleaner or whatever) and then gets these amazing color swirls on their canvas? the "planned randomness" of them reminded me of you and your various bits 'n pieces :)

[@MugsyMakes]

oooh yeah I have been watching some pours too. I haven't done one of those in a few years and never like what you can achieve now. Can not wait to try all the different pouring techniques!! I totally see that in your work too shannon.

[@ShannonGreen]

I love watching those pouring videos! I haven't tried it for myself but it's on my list for "someday". :)

[@kkossor3046]

It is a beautiful mess! I love it! What kind of brush did you use? Thank you so much.

[@ShannonGreen]

It's a stipple brush or a glue brush used for bookbinding. You might be able to find something similar at Dick Blick.

[@donnalevi4080]

Please share what glue you use? I enjoy all of your videos! thank you!

[@ShannonGreen]

In this video I used Elmers Glue that had been slightly watered down....maybe 4 parts glue to 1 part water.

[@carlyswan7447]

If you lightly sand plastic coating on box it will use less glue,time and will stick better.

[@ShannonGreen]

THanks for watching!

[@MrVjay70]

Beautiful!!!!! What will your top coat be

[@ShannonGreen]

Matte finish Mod Podge.

[@FreyFamily5]

What does one use the tiles for?

[@thelmamoore657]

What do you do them after you make them? Please share 😃

[@ShannonGreen]

I give them away. Most of them I gave as gifts to everyone who purchased something from my Etsy shop.

[@ShelleyCarlson]

🙂

[@smurfie161]

Came out great , you can't beat peeling glue off our hands lol

[@ShannonGreen]

Gluey hands are just the best!

[@myriamelaurent5753]

Splendide ses latout première fois que je vois sa ,j ai pas mal d idée mais sa me donne autre idée si je peut. Oui ou non dites le moi. ( je suis de Belgique. Mes amitiés .) Ma passion est lapeinture à huile , acrylique artplastique , gravures , poteries, aquarelle . Je crois que je vais ajouter le scrapboukin bientôt .

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you for watching!

[@TheBeccajb]

What do you do with the tiles after you get them made?

[@ShannonGreen]

I give most of them away.

[@cindyfeather9396]

Did you seal it with anything or is it unnecessary?

[@ShannonGreen]

I did seal mine with a thin coat of Mod Podge...it's optional but it does give the tiles a nice finish.

[@rrahbit]

i think i asked you this already ... what kind of brush is that?

[@ShannonGreen]

It's a hog hair stipple brush that you can find in my Etsy shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/byShannonGreen

[@danceswithpitbulls]

yes a darn fine mess!

[@ShannonGreen]

The best kind!
