YES YOU CAN is a collage starter inside a can.
✂
I use a lot of vintage paper myself and I thought it would be nice to share some.
✂
If you haven’t made a collage since childhood, this is for you.
If you need inspiration, this is for you.
If you’re homeschooling and need to switch things up, this is for you.
If you love a quirky plant pot, this is for you too.
Each can is unique and the content is different and random, and you can see some examples in the photo description. I have personally and lovingly selected each and every fragment that goes inside each tin.
Each can contains a blank antique ledger page, a random sheet from an old encyclopaedia, various old book pages in different languages, a couple of black and white photos, a piece of old map, various cutouts from fashion magazines, antique ephemera, some words from old books, vintage ads from Italian magazines, a prayer page in Hebrew, some patterned papers, a scrabble wooden tile, fragments of stained papers and old cards and various other bits to get you started on your collages.
And that’s all inside your tin. And once you’ve used up all your paper, why not turn your can into a pencil holder, or a vase!
