How To Make Shaving Cream Art
- Spray a light layer of shaving cream larger than the paper or card you are printing. Use a spatula or your piece of cardboard to help smooth it out to a light layer.
- Add a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolor to the shaving cream.
- Swirl colors around with a toothpick fo fork.
- Print shaving cream colors by placing the card down in color and gently rubbing the back.
- Pull the card up carefully.
- Scrape the shaving cream paint mixture off the card with a piece of cardboard.
- Let dry.
Optional Designs
- Remove painter's tape.
- Add extra drawings with paint marker or pens.
Notes
- Acrylic paint can also work to make shaving cream art. You just made need to dilute it a little to get the look you want.
- Don't overmix the shaving cream and paint. You want to see the marble look.
- You can use as many colors as your want. Just be careful to not use so many that they will not mix well together.
- You can print from the same mixture a few times before needing to add more color.
- If there is a spot that you would like more marble paint on, just reprint that area.
