TIPS
• If you live near a dollar store, all the supplies (minus the paint) can be found there for cheap!
• Do not use shaving cream with gels or moisturizers, they will add extra ingredients you don't want in your project.
• Try to remove all shaving cream from your project without smudging the paint.
• I found placing wet marbled projects outside in direct sunlight is the best way to completely dry them.
• Just about any type of paint can be used with this method.
• Place warped paper under heavy weights to flatten.
• Try a clear spray varnish to protect your artwork*: amzn.to/2RjuCix

This works awesome on glossy paper too like photo paper

[@studioknit]

Really cool!!! Excited to marble up some paper!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

This is so cool! love the one with dark paper. and the wood.

[@ShreyaSwamy]

The teals and yellows are my favorite. They are so so beautiful.

[@jude1515]

That is beautiful! I even liked it before the scraping but was amazed on how great it looked.

[@tieskeellis8531]

That wooden one is GORGEOUS!!!

[@Minwater5]

Do you think that a galaxy pattern could be achieved using black paper and the appropriate colours?

[@SeaLemonDIY]

Ooo! That could work, and you could flick the stars on top after you wipe the shaving cream off. If you try it, I'd love to see a pic!

[@Canadaindy152]

O hh, I want to see that too.

[@just_rashu]

@@geminiwonder867 I don't think so

[@loomgirl7771]

That's a cool idea!

[@MissFlux]

Hi, Thankyou I just bought several cans of shaving foam this morning for this. You told us everything you need to get started .. I'm about to after this comment :)) Also I once saw a video using this technique, she used something like a cookie cutter in the shape of a circle & must have left a very thin layer of the shaving cream on there & when it dried it was all shiny. Looked awesome, great for card making & scrapbooking ... if anyone knows of this video PLEASE tell me. Much thanks for this very informative tutorial :))

[@jisoochoi21]

You are AMAZING!!! I love all of your tutorials. all of your tutorials are very detailed yet simple and clear! I love all of your DIYs and your voice!!

[@brendaclark2703]

So fun! Thanks for sharing

[@nataliehuynh2959]

YOUR ARTWORK IS SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL

[@angiel516]

In 6th grade our science teacher did this with everyone, using food coloring :). Each kid had a piece of paper and once we were done, we glued them onto our science journals and wrote our names on them with permanent marker. Everyone loved it and thought it was so cool.

[@tjdegrasse]

Love yellows,pinks,oranges,teals,purple....... Loved the video!💜😄

[@sorakagirl42]

This looks awesome!

[@Samuel-ip1zu]

The most aesthetic video ever!!

[@katecreamer4318]

I dyed a cooler for a fraternity formal with this technique! Thanks for the tutorial

[@kuhumj7410]

[@sofiadragon1979]

That is too cool, I am just starting to get the stuff that I need to make some small books & my wife wants me to use this to make a book cover for her lol. There are thousands of project ideas going through my head since I saw this thank you so much, now all I need is a book to write all the ideas down ;P lol once again thank you.

[@deniseterry6572]

Love your voice and your art work of course.

[@summerrain2362]

[@allhailskippy]

Great tutorial! Gives me some ideas for some nerdy art I might have to try out :)

[@PlkittyTv]

This is great, thanks for sharing Paul :)

[@mariefranceartdesign]

Thank you so much for this video! My daughter and I used this technique years ago but I couldn't remember how we had done it. We did it on playing cards.

[@KonnyKrafter]

THANKS for this awesome tutorial...the varieties you showed were lovely. I used this technique with my GRANDsons to decorate Ester eggs this year which yielded beautiful results PLUS the process was great fun! =D

[@Nardog1]

What an easy, inexpensive way to make beautiful art. I must try for sure. Thanks for this!! :-)

[@ifnkhn]

sea lemon is my favourite youtuber ever

[@BethanyStocker]

We did this in art class all the time! ❤️ But what we did was: Step 1: Pour shaving cream on table. Step 2: Add food coloring and mix gently (if you just mix it all together it will make one color). Step 3: Take some regular or thick paper and press on the shaving cream. Step 4: Remove paper and scrape left over cream off with a ruler. Step 5: Let it air dry and it's ready to go home next art class! We all did three pages, so there were three different tables with different colors, and we just added some more coloring when it started to mix! This is a way more simple way to do it, but the way you did it seemed a lot more efficient! Definitely one of my most favorite art projects to do 😋

[@arfanhossain1639]

+Bethany Stocker omg tysm,i will do this,tysm for the tip

[@BethanyStocker]

+Arfan Hossain No problem 😋

[@arfanhossain1639]

;)

[@kexinn4887]

What age were u when ur school taught u this and which country were u in? Im just curious becos im 11 and next year im 12 (now is school holidays, school starts next year) but my school has not taught me this. Pls ans ty (im not gonna stalk u, no worries!)😂

[@juliemandell]

@Bethany Stocker - thanks so much! I want to do a large piece and don't have a container large enough to hold the shaving cream. I'll try laying down sheets of wax paper on my kitchen island. If it seems I do need some sort of border at the edges perhaps I can form a large shallow container out of aluminum foil?

[@Lillyspurs]

Thank you for sharing this. God bless!

[@ahrininetailedfox7972]

awesome!

[@laelamill2915]

I love the pink blue gold and white on the wood

[@melindaoa8668]

Wow...very nice!

[@CassideeRose]

These are so cute😍

[@carolinau7048]

Love it!

[@witchypoo420]

Love this! You always do such a great job with your videos, thank you! :)

[@merryclicker]

I also never let it sit, even with plain card stock. The shaving cream makes cleanup extra easy.

[@ShaunWhiteismyGinger]

Awesome hanks!

[@abulazad6354]

I cant wait to try this! Thx :)

[@karenbuckshi1816]

Wow - this is great. I have a couple of questions... Do you think this could work on a stretched art canvas? Do you think we could put letter stickers on the surface before dipping it into the shaving cream to protect them from the colours? Thanks!

[@SeaLemonDIY]

Karen Buckshi It might! Maybe try a test first :)

[@lisa-linb4190]

Karen Buckshi I've done this on 8x10 canvas before I saw this video. I had OK results until I realized I did not let them sit for 3 minutes. In fact, I didn't let them sit at all :( I think that caused the my just uneven OK results. This technique is fun!

[@karenbuckshi1816]

+Lisa-Lin B thanks for your response. we tried it and let it sit for gge 3 minutes. the paint was a bit streaky rather than marbled. I think it's because the canvases are coated and didn't absorb the liquid as well as paper. will try on a raw canvas next time. note that our try on wood worked quite well!

[@LottieSue]

+Karen Buckshi Raw canvas? Where does one purchase a raw canvas? I wonder if I could remove the pre-gesso coating on store bought canvases? What do you think? Perhaps adding an acrylic ground might work too. I'll have to try it.

[@hunnyflash]

Any fabric store should have raw canvas :) In addition, you can add gesso to a premade canvas. idk how much it will absorb the paint with in this technique, but in my painting class, I always gesso'ed over the store bought canvas, because it just holds paint and water better in general. That pre-coating stuff is icky! Just be sure to do it like at least 24 hours in advance, so the gesso has time to set up. I haven't tried it, but I'm going to now! Oh, and depending on how you apply the gesso, you can get some very interesting textures! I would apply it on thick with a big palette knife, and you can create a super smooth surface, a raised bumpy surface. I did like some textured stripes before. Might look cool with the marbling :)

[@tobimael]

Thats so cool!

[@KamilaRoutsis]

Amazing!! Thanks

[@greta89]

This worked wonderfully for me! :D

[@kathleenstrode455]

Have seen before...but always awed!!!

[@khadijafatima980]

this is just awesome

[@yukibar]

I'm going to try making greeting cards using this technique with my senior citizens! Can't wait.

[@fenial.2394]

That was so beautiful..

[@ShreyaSwamy]

Good lord, bless you. You're amazing, I'm such a fan!

[@GlendaMoore]

Awesome!

[@iartistdotme]

Did you try putting a blank piece of paper over the piece you place on wax paper before you squeegee it off? Just wondered if you could get another print.

[@xenora5676]

I love this diy !!!! 3

[@lynwilliams7113]

amazing!!

[@Canadaindy152]

I've done this before except I used unscented shaving cream due to sensitive skin. As well as using one color and I kept reusing the cream and adding more of the same color. The results were amazing. It look like green marbling with several shades of green.

[@MisKandi]

Shaving cream? Who came up with this? Wow! How cool!

[@neekobabe]

I’ve never done paper, but I just watched your using canvas as a cover and thought this would be a great way to decorate your canvases before using them for book binding

[@xanthecarpentier9215]

THIS IS SO COOL
