DIY Shaving Cream Marble Art Prints

 

My daughter loves doing art projects but sometimes (OK most times) they are extremely messy!  I have learned to overcome my dislike for the mess so that she can be creative, have fun and learn.  I also know that when she is finished creating, I can swoop in with my cleaning supplies and have everything go back to the way it was before.

This week S and I pulled out shaving cream, food coloring, and mixed media mists and had a blast creating one of a kind marble art prints.

S would have continued making these marbled art prints all day if time allowed.  Each press of the paper or swirl of the spoon or additional color added created a different print.  S loves to scrapbook so her prints will be used for background pages or to cut up for embellishments.  I may steal a couple to hang up on the wall!

DIY Marble Art Prints

You will need:

• 9×12 glass cake pan
• 8.5×11 inch white cardstock
• white shaving cream
• food coloring, mixed media mists or liquid water colors
• Piece of cardboard or plastic ruler
• Viva Paper Towels
• Clorox Clean-Up Cleaner + Spray

Directions:

1. Cover the bottom of the cake pan with shaving cream.
2. Add food coloring, mixed media mists or liquid water colors to the shaving cream.
3. Then use a toothpick or spoon and swirl through the color you added.
4. Gently press a piece of cardstock into the shaving cream.
5. Lay the cardstock on your surface and scrape a piece of cardboard or ruler across the cardstock to remove the shaving cream.
6. Allow the cardstock to dry.
7. Continue adding color and/or adding shaving cream to the cake pan and create additional pieces of art.

Clean Up

To clean up the mess on the table, I grabbed my Clorox Clean-Up Cleaner + Spray and Viva paper towels.  I love Clorox Clean-Up Cleaner + Spray because it kills 99.9% of germs.  It’s also designed to clean and disinfect a variety of stains on a variety of surfaces.  Not to mention that with Smart Tube Technology®, you do not waste any money because you can spray every last drop!  

I only use Viva Big Rolls because there is 40% more Viva per roll*.  I can choose how much of the paper toweling I want depending on the size of the mess.  *Towel area compared to Viva® Regular Roll; Current practice is use of “33% More”

I picked up all my supplies for this craft project from Walmart including the Viva paper towels and Clorox cleaner.  Guess what?
