Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
We used liquid watercolor paint for this, but you can also use food color for this project.
Step 2
We first filled our shallow tray with shaving cream and spread it out into an even layer.
Step 3
Next, Emma added a few drops of the paint right on top.
Step 4
With a skewer we swirled the paint into the shaving cream. This was especially fun for my two-year old. It is all he wanted to do the entire time!
Step 5
Once we were satisfied with our swirl design Emma laid her card stock right on top of the shaving cream and pressed softly.
Step 6
It was already so beautiful when we lifted it up. With an old towel we wiped away the shaving cream to reveal the beautiful painting underneath.
Final result!
We made a few bookmarks with some of our designs. They all came out so beautiful!
