Step One
Cut several colors of construction paper into 9-inch squares.
Step Two
On two or three lighter colors, use a marker to draw different lines, including straight, zig-zag, and wavy. Be sure to draw each line all the way across the paper.
Step Three
Use the scissors to cut along each line. This will create the ‘lines’ you will use in your collage.
Step Four
On a new (uncut) 9-inch square of construction paper, arrange your lines to create a fun design.
Step Five
Place dots of glue on the back of each line. Then turn it over and place it on the construction paper square. Make sure each line reaches from one side of the paper to the other.
Step Six
Turn your project over and rub the back to help the glue adhere to the paper.
Step Seven
On a white, black, or other colors of construction paper, cut out shapes for eyes, eyebrows, a mouth, and teeth. For eyes, it may be helpful to draw one circle and fold the paper before cutting to get two perfectly identical circles.
Step Eight
Glue each of these new pieces to the front of your project to create a monster face.
