Step three

Arrange your papers in a way you like. When you are ready, use our Animal Sticky Dot Roller to glue down your paper, you can reposition it if need be as the sticky dots don't set straight away.

Add stickers to complete your collage.

Step four

Use your liner pen to outline the highlighter shapes and complete your journal border.

I used a dot-dot-dash and dot-dot-dot combo, but you can customise it—try a broken line with tiny hearts in the gaps, or a wavy line with dots in between.
