The surfaces should be free of dirt and grease; you might need to sand the surfaces in order to assure cleanliness. Cut around the part of the picture you want to include in the collage. Start gluing your pictures and Try different arrangements until you get one that looks just right. You can use different kinds of mediums, for lightweight and flat materials (paper, canvas, etc.) use Acrylic using the fluid or the gel. For heavy weight and 3-D materials (beads, rocks, etc.): Use Acrylic Gel Mediums. Some papers are very absorbent, so if acrylic medium is absorbed into collage surface, allow medium to dry. Apply a second coat. The second coat will not be absorbed by the collaged surface. The acrylic medium to fully dry it takes for the Fluid Mediums 1-4 hours, gel mediums 24-72 hours, depending upon thickness of application When you finish try to dry clear with a gloss finish.
