  Step 1

  Fill a shallow bowl with shaving cream, but only enough to fill the bottom.

• Step 2

  As you can see in the picture above, mine was gel so I had to mix it with my finger

• 

  Step 3

  Grab your liquid food coloring! I only had red, yellow, and blue but you might be able to find other colors.

• 

  Step 4

  Put a couple drops of food coloring into the shaving cream. And remember, a little is a lot

• 

  Step 5

  Take your skewer and swirl around the colors and there are endless possibility's!

• 

  Step 6

  For my paper I used little sheets of card stock.

• 

  Step 7

  Lay your paper in the cream and press down LIGHTLY.

• 

  Step 8

  Pick your paper up and lay it face up on newspaper.

• 

  Step 9

  Take your ruler and scrap off all the shaving cream.

• 

  Step 10

  And VOILA! Beautiful paper made with shaving cream.

I used gel food coloring and gel shaving cream and it worked great! I'll have to post my version if I get around to taking pictures. Love this project!

Absolutely fabulous! I've been wanting some abstract-ish art in my room, but it's so expensive! This is cheap and easy! I'll definitely post my version when I get to it. Thanks!

This technique is FAB !
I've tried it out and the result is amazing. No more need to spend bucks for something I can do now at home.
THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING. Have a nice day

awesome idea! I tried on parchment paper because I do alot of artwork and mixed media so making your own paper is a plus! I didn't exactly follow your instructions, I just put it on the paper with my hands and used acrylic paint while I was putting the shaving cream on, dried quickly too! looks awesome and when I get my camera up and running again I'll post pic! again, awesome!
