Introduction: Paper Marbling With Food Dye and Shaving Cream
A quick and easy way to marble paper!
Step 1:
Step 2:
~ Supplies ~
~ Ruler
~ Food Dye
~ Shaving Cream (make sure it is foam)
~ Painters Tape
~ Envelopes/ Paper
~ Plates
~ Tooth Picks or Spatula
~ Tray
Step 3:
Start by taping off any areas of the paper you do not want to be marbled. Since I started by marbling the flap of the envelope, I also used a different piece of paper to help cover up the area I wasn't marbling.
Step 4:
Cover the tray in a layer of shaving cream. Then, add a few drops of food dye onto the shaving cream. Next, take the spatula or the tooth pick and mix the food dye with the shaving cream. I use the tooth pick when I want to create more of a pattern. Using the spatula will create more of the marbled look.
Step 5:
Next, press the paper on top of the shaving cream. Then, pull up the paper and take the rule and scrape the shaving cream off. Let dry before using.
