My room is Hollywood themed, and I need cute ideas on how to collage old movie ticket stubs?

Question

My room is black/white/red Hollywood themed. I have a director's chair and my autographs from various celebrities are hung on the walls. However, my walls are still a little blank and I'd like a bit more for the walls, so since I collect movie ticket stubs, I decided to do some sort of craft/collage with them. Does anyone have any cute ideas on how to make that presentable and fun?

Answer 1

You can always make a collage with the ticket stubs and a picture of the movie like from the front of the movie box and mix them together not necessarily putting them near each other but mixing them up and overlapping them and add a title like "Movie Balloza" or "Movie Madness" or you name and movie like say your name was blank then you would put "Blank's Movie Choosy" or a smarty name in slanted letters or a cool font then a stars on the sides of the name in the color black with gold stars and use red paint and splatter paint it or just leave it tickets and pics or don't use the pictures and do splatter paint...

Answer 2

1.If you have a scanner, scan in some of your fav stubs.  Enlarge them to the size of printer paper.  

Use the paint program to fill them in with bright colors. (black, red, and white - since that is your color scheme)

Print the huge stubs out on your printer, using photo paper or heavy card stock. (Or you can have a photo lab print them out - it would look nice, but cost a bit more though)

Now cut out the large, brightly colored stubs and make your collage.  To get a really different look - try putting them onto a sheet of clear plexiglass, instead of paper.

You can also scatter the big stubs about your room, in groupings, on different walls.  Use scrap book 3-D glue dots to attach the stubs to each other and still have some dimension.

2.Make a frame for your fav autograph - get a cheap wooden frame and decopage the movie stubs to the frame.  Put lots of decopage medium on to make sure it lasts and looks nice.

(If you don't want to use the originals, you will need to use a color copier or lazer printer - regular printer ink will run when you decopage it.)

3. Get a large piece of pre-stretched canvas (pretty cheap at craft stores.). Paint it a bright red with acrylic paint.

With a pencil, have some one help trace your side profile onto the canvas (Use a bright lamp to make a shadow of your profile, and the friend traces the shadow).

Fill in the profile area with the ticket stubs, slightly overlapped.  Be sure to date the back, since this also makes a cool keepsake of your profile.

4.Get some black poster board (or framing matt board) and cut it to look like sections of film (the long rectangles with little squares cut out along the edges)  Then in each square, alternate fav pictures of movie stars and sections of movie stubs, collaged to fill the area.
