Project #1058 The Gratitude Grid Game | Mindful 3×3 Collage Prompt Project

A playful, grounding collage ritual for makers everywhere.

Project #1058 — The Gratitude Grid Game is a beginner-friendly freebie from the Curious Collage Society, designed to bring mindfulness, creativity, and a moment of noticing into your day.

Using nothing more than scraps already living around your home, you’ll turn a simple 3×3 grid into a tiny gallery of gratitude—nine bite-size collage stories built from textures, fragments, and overlooked materials.

How It Works:
• Draw a 3×3 grid on any paper
• Set a two-minute timer
• Gather small scraps: paper bits, packaging, envelopes, fabric threads, textures
• Choose nine prompts like:
 — “something forgotten”
 — “something surprising”
 — “something you want more of”
 — “something soft,” “something ordinary,” “something imperfect,” and more
• Fill each square with a tiny collage made from whatever you found
• Add one unifying mark or motif (our Curious Collage Society golden-thread moment) to tie the grid together

Why Makers Love It:
• No special supplies required
• Quiet, grounding, accessible anywhere
• Perfect for beginners or seasoned artists
• A mindful moment that sparks gratitude and creativity
• Ideal for journals, sketchbooks, or as a warm-up exercise

This project connects you to the global constellation of makers who cut, tear, and stick alongside you—quietly, creatively, and together.

Cut. Tear. Stick. Repeat.
