How to do the nature collage
- Collect leaves, twigs, and flowers from your garden or a nearby park
- Arrange your collected items on a piece of cardboard in a design that pleases you
- Use glue to secure the items in place
How to make it your own
Feeling extra creative? Add some colour by painting the leaves or twigs before glueing them. You can also use a themed approach, like creating a collage that represents the current season. Incorporate other natural elements like pinecones or seashells for added texture and depth.
Why this activity works
The act of foraging for natural elements serves as a form of ecotherapy, grounding you in the moment and taking your mind off stress. The creative process of arranging and glueing allows you to focus on something other than your stressors, providing a mental break and fostering emotional well-being.
Creating a nature collage not only offers immediate stress relief but also results in a lasting piece of art. This serves as a constant reminder of your ability to channel stress into something beautiful, reinforcing positive emotional health.
