I love collage, have I mentioned that before?
Collage heals me like nothing else. The act of cutting paper, gluing it down with either a glue stick or my collage paste is just so much fun.
I was reading a blog post by iHanna where she was sharing her plays in her rainbow glue book and I decided to give it a shot. It seemed like a fun way to utilize junk mail or catalogs as well as miscellaneous ephemera I have.
I am using a standard composition notebook that I picked up from The Dollar Tree and I am setting it up with the following sections: pink, white/cream, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, teal, purple and rainbow. The notebook has 100 pages so I am doing 10 pages for each color/section although rainbow seemed to work out to be 9 pages so I am guessing I miscounted somewhere along the line which is fine with me.
I decided that I wasn’t going to be too critical of my photo choices. If something felt pink I used it on my pink page even if it had some other colors too. I want this to be fun so I am not going to be fussy about my choices.
I also thought it would be fun to record my play session and share it with you. So if you would like a little creative time why not join me? You can get out your own supplies or maybe just pour a cup of your favorite beverage and have a little relax time watching me cut and glue? Either way I would love to hear your thoughts. Do you like to make glue books? If so please share what kinds you make.

I love this project. It’s so fun, colorful and carefree!
Thank you so much Laura! It really is lots of fun and a great way to warm up before a creative session or relax and just connect with creativity.
Thanks for the mention, so happy to inspire you Michele! I wanted to watch the video, but I can’t see it here and there is no link to it. I’m using the Chrome browser, so maybe check if it’s just me or if others are having the same issue?
Thank you so much for stopping by Hanna-it means a lot. I love your blog and always find something to inspire my creativity. So sorry the video didn’t work-I just adjusted the post so hopefully it works now but just in case you can see the video here too: https://vimeo.com/682065052
