DIY MarBLING !







I saw a demonstration on a short cut to create a marbling effect. Long ago in a dye class the marbling was done in multiple steps that were labor intensive.

I was eager to try the short cut so here it is: basically you spray shaving cream onto a cookie sheet. The shaving cream floats the paint on top so the paint adheres to the fabric and the shaving cream just melts away as it all drys.
Ideally fabric paint should be used but, I used some acrylic paints I already owned. The acrylic worked fine however when it dried it makes the fabric a little stiff.
