How to Make Marbled Paper Art
1. Set up the Foam.
Cover the bottom of a cookie sheet with shaving foam. Use a spoon to help spread and smooth out the shaving foam.
2. Add on the colors
Mix some food coloring and water together. Then use a pipette to drop the colors all over the shaving foam.
3. Use a q-tip or toothpick to mix the colors around.
Be aware that too much mixing will mean that the colors will turn into one color and your marble paper will just look like mud art instead.
4. Transfer it onto the Paper.
Press the paper down onto the foam, try not to move the paper around, just gently run your fingers over the paper until all of it has been coated in foam.
5. Peel the Paper Off
Lift up the paper and lay it down on a flat surface. Then use a ruler to scrape the shaving foam off.
Don’t worry, this won’t remove the color. But once again, be gentle, otherwise you might tear the paper by accident.
6. Leave the paper to dry.
Once the paper it dry you can use is as wrapping paper or for other art ptojects.
