Want to learn how to make collages without bubbles, wrinkles, or smears? Check out my full tutorial!

Wrinkles, bubbles, and smears don’t have to be part of your collage process.

In this video, you’re getting to see me create a collage, but what you don’t see are the glue mishaps so many of us run into: papers bubbling up, delicate tissue tearing, or ink smearing right at the finish line.

That’s because I’ve learned a few tricks along the way.

In my full YouTube tutorial, I’m sharing my favorite glue options, from matte medium to glue sticks to gel medium, and showing you exactly when and how to use them for different paper types. Whether you’re gluing thin deli paper, vintage book pages, or heavier painted collage paper, this demo will help you glue with confidence.

You’ll learn how to avoid wrinkles and warping, keep magazine ink from smearing, the best ways to apply glue evenly to delicate surfaces, and figure out how to choose the right adhesive for your paper weight.

If you're tired of guessing and getting frustrated, you'll want to check out my full video for all my mixed-media collage tips.
