It’s shaving cream!!! I can’t wait for you to see it in action!

Supplies needed for this project:

  • Fabric paint in several color choices
  • Can of shaving cream (not gel)
  • Fabric for project ( I used a canvas wristlet from a craft store)
  • Tray
  • plastic knife
  • plastic ruler

*I do want to make a note that you’ll want to use a surface you don’t mind getting a little messy. I used a plastic storage lid to protect my desktop during the last steps of this project. You’ll see why….

How to marble fabric:

1. Spray a layer of shaving cream onto tray.

3. Add small drops of the fabric paint on top of the shaving cream. Space out the dots and covers evenly.

4. Use the plastic knife to make swirls in the shaving cream. I started out going up in down and then from side to side. Do not overmix!

7. See the plastic tray under the fabric? Yep, it came in handy! Now use the flat edge of the ruler to scrap off the shaving cream mixture to reveal a beautiful marbled pattern on the fabric. It will take a few swipes. I used a paper towel to wipe it clean in between scrapes. See how the shaving cream helped create a fun marbled pattern on the fabric? How cool is that?
