Equipment
- none needed
Ingredients
- a copy of the Easter Egg Free Pattern
- white card stock paper
- colored cardstock and/or scrapbooking paper
- the shaving cream
- liquid food coloring
- baking pan that has sides paper should fit flat in it
- sheet cake pan or cookie sheet with sides
- rubber spatula or plastic knife
- paper towels
- piece of cardboard with a straight edge
- Gloves are optional
- Ribbon is an optional supply
Instructions
- Place the cake pan in front of you. Shake the shaving cream can and then fill the bottom of the pan with about an inch of the foam. Use a spatula or plastic knife to level out the layer of shaving cream.
- Take the bottles of liquid food coloring and sprinkle dots of the colors across the top of the shaving cream.Using the plastic knife, run the blade back and forth through the foam. The point is to swirl the color through the shaving cream, not mix it all into one blended color.
- Place a piece of white cardstock paper on top the foam and pat it gently. Until the entire surface of the paper has contact with the shaving cream and food coloring.Lift the paper out of the shaving cream and place it (foam side up) onto a sheet cake pan.
- Use the flat edge of the cardboard and move it across the paper like a squeegee. Then scrape off the shaving cream onto the edge of the pan. The cardboard will clean off all the foam.The foam removal leaves the paper dry and designed!
- Use the Easter Egg Free Printable to cut egg shapes from the marbled paper. Use the shaving cream painting and colored cardstock paper to make cards in two sizes. Or cut out small, medium, or large Easter eggs for decorations (tape to a ribbon for a garland).You will find many ways to use this paper in shaving cream art.
