Marbleized Paper

Marbleized Paper

Shaving cream
Toothpicks
Tin foil
Paper cut to desired size
A squeegee or butter knife
Food coloring or paint


1. Spread a ¼ to ½ inch layer of shaving cream on the tin foil about the size of the paper you're using.
2. Put several drops of food coloring on the shaving cream.
3. Use the toothpick to created different designs with the food coloring.
4. Place the paper on the shaving cream and press down gently.
5. Starting at the corner lift the paper and set it shaving cream side up on a covered surface. (Tin foil or paper towel.)
6. Use the back end of the knife or the squeegee to remove all the shaving cream from the paper.

Tip: Use odorless shaving cream if you can find any. (Or do this project outside.) We didn't and it stunk up the house. Lesson learned.
