This was very addictive. 

Here are the first two I made:

I gave the one on top to my mum, and she said she liked it. 

The red/green one was for me. Therefore, I went all in and glued some beach glass on, and I think it would be too much for other people, but I love it. 

The staples did annoy me, so after the first one, I stapled first, then put the collage on top. Except the last one, I used no staples on that, so I have yet to see if it will be durable enough. But I did use tape and wrapped the collage all around instead of leaving one side as-is.

Except for this one: 

Where I kept the tea tag quotes as they were and only put collage on one side. 

And finally I made these two:

And my poor friends may have to suffer for it when I gift them away.

I've enjoyed this project so much. And I really need to go buy some maps in a thrift shop and tear them up. I don't know why that part is so difficult for me when I loved to tear the other paper pieces apart.
