Shaving cream art

Had a little fun with shaving cream today. A simple and easy project to make marblized designs on a piece of paper without the fuss of paint or a marble.

Items you need for this are simple:
  • Trays
  • Shaving cream
  • Food coloring
  • Paper
  • Craft stick
Start with putting some shaving cream in a tray. Then drop a few drops of food coloring on top of it. DO NOT MIX IT. If you mix it, you wont get the same effect


Take a piece of paper and place it on the shaving cream. Pushing slightly

Lift the paper off

Scrap off the extra shaving cream

   
And you get a cool marble effect!
Of course the kids discovered an alternative way to do this project. The sticks we used for scraping could be used for a "painting" the shaving cream on. Not the same effect but it still works.



I call this project a complete success! The first time I tried this it didn't work the way I wanted to. Very happy with the overall outcome.
