Materials Needed
- Shaving Foam
- Food coloring
- Craft sticks
- Card
- Drawing Paper or Doilies
How to Make It
- On a work surface, squirt shaving foam for each person.
- Drop a couple of drops of desired food coloring shades onto different spots on the foamed area.
- Using your craft sticks swirl the shaving foam around until it has a marbleized look to it. Try not to over swirl it or else it will become one uniform color instead of the desired swirls of color that is the intent here.
- Dip your doily or paper into the swirled mixture. Press down lightly on the paper so that the color can be easily distributed across the paper.
- Carefully life the paper or doily.
- Use a straight edge card to scrape away any excess shaving foam.
- Let the paper dry and Voila! You should have a marbleized or tie-dyed masterpiece.
