Positive words mean so much…
Crafting Your Way to Positivity: Using Little Pieces of Collage Masterboard to Spread Positive Words.
In a world that can often feel bleak and disheartening, it’s important to find small ways to spread positivity and joy. One such way is by creating little pieces of collaged masterboard adorned with positive words and phrases. These tiny works of art can be hung up in your home, gifted to loved ones, or left in public spaces to bring a smile to someone’s face, or popped into your journals.
Step One
The first step in creating your positivity-filled masterboards is to gather your materials. You’ll need scraps of paper, cardstock, or fabric in various colours and patterns, as well as adhesive (glue, tape, or glue dots), scissors or a paper trimmer, and of course, words and phrases that inspire you. These can be printed from your computer, cut from magazines or books, or written by hand.
Step Two
Once you have your materials, start by cutting your scraps into small, uniform shapes. Squares, circles, and triangles work well, but feel free to get creative with other shapes. Then, arrange your pieces on a blank piece of cardstock or paper to create a visually appealing background. You can overlap them, layer them, or leave space between them – the possibilities are endless!
Step Three
Next, it’s time to add your positive words and phrases. Choose words that resonate with you personally, such as “hope,” “love,” “gratitude,” or “peace.” You can also use uplifting quotes or affirmations, such as “you are enough,” “choose joy,” or “believe in yourself.” Experiment with different fonts and colours to make your words stand out.
As you work on your positivity cards, take a moment to reflect on the meaning behind each word or phrase. Let the positivity and inspiration sink in, and allow yourself to bask in the warmth of your own creativity. When you’re finished, step back and admire your work – you’ve just created a beautiful piece of art that is sure to brighten someone’s day.

Step Four
Finally, decide how you want to share your cards with the world. You can frame them and hang them on your walls, attach a magnet to the back and display them on your refrigerator, or attach a string and hang them from a tree or fence in a public space. You could even gift them to friends and family, reminding them of the power of positivity and the beauty of small acts of kindness. Of course, keep them and add them into your journals or art.
In a world that can often feel heavy and overwhelming, creating little pieces of positivity is a simple yet powerful way to spread joy and inspiration. So gather your materials, let your creativity run wild, and let the magic of positive words light up your life and the lives of those around you!
