Marbled Ink Art

Becky shows you how to create stunning effects with food colouring and shaving cream. Instructions are below the video.

You will need:

  • Paper

  • Shaving foam

  • Food colouring

  • Spoon and fork

  • Shallow tray large enough for your paper

  • Kitchen towel

Using a spoon, spread a thin layer of shaving cream in the bottom of the pan.

Dot the surface of the shaving cream with food colouring.

Run the fork through the colours in a wavy fashion. Try not swirling your colours or else they will run together.

Lay your paper on top of the coloured layer in the pan. Smooth the paper out over the shaving cream.

Wait thirty seconds.

Remove the paper and wipe the shaving cream off with kitchen towel. If you do this carefully, none of your colours will run or be distorted.

Allow your paper to dry. If it curls, you can ask for help to iron it flat using low heat.
