Marbling

 

 

 

We had so much fun making stationary sets by marbling. Was really easy to make with shaving cream and food colouring!!

All you need is shaving cream, food colouring, paper towels, spatula (we used a plastic egg flip), baking tray, plastic ruler, al-foil and of cause paper and envelopes or whatever you would like to marble

After we lined the baking tray with al-foil we covered it in shaving cream

Then kind of smoothed it out with the spatula (egg flip)

Now we drop spots of food colouring all over the shaving cream

Using the handle of the spatula we stired/mixed the colours together

Then placed a piece of paper on top of it all

We pressed it down firmly so the coloured shaving covers it, under the paper

 

Holding the corner of the paper, we slowly lift it up

Place it onto some laid out paper towels

 

Now using the plastic ruler we scrapped off the shaving cream in one swipe. From top to bottom

Amazing!! Now let it dry

We followed it up with an envelope so the pattern kind of matches the paper we just did

Once we started we couldn’t stop!! We just kept stirring and printing. After the shaving cream got very murky so we just throw it out, relined the try and started again!!

After the paper was dry we were able to just wipe off the excess shaving cream on the stationary then flattened them under a heavy book!!

Now they are ready to write on!!
