This project was hauntingly good and was a nice bit of family fun for one of the first really cold nights down here in the South. ( yes we do consider 42 degrees cold here!)
Our next adventure is going to be in making marbled paper for some holiday gift cards. If you would like to try this...
Materials:
Large cookie sheet
Cheap white shaving cream. NOT the gell type
Assorted craft type paints ( Apple Barrel and the like).
Popsicle sticks or bamboo stick
Paper towels
White card stock paper
cardboard to use as shaving cream squgee.
Spray the shaving cream on the pan and spread it about a half-inch thick and slightly wider and longer than your paper.
Place a few drops of food paint over the shaving cream 2-3 colors that work well together. With the popsicle stick, swirl the colors together and make a fun pattern. Not too much or you get mud!
Press the paper into the shaving cream, making sure the cream touches the entire surface of the paper. Carefully lift the paper from the cream.
Now wipe the shaving cream from the card with a strip of carboard. Your paper will sport swirls of color in a marbled pattern.
Let your papers dry completely before using for a further project.
