Learned this in an art class over the summer. Works better with shaving cream that foams up straight from the can instead of gel that you have to mix. Not sure if you can use gel food coloring either, but go for it!

Description

Learned this in an art class over the summer. Works better with shaving cream that foams up straight from the can instead of gel that you have to mix. Not sure if you can use gel food coloring either, but go for it!

Instructions

  1. Small picture 001 1293056412

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

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

  3. Small picture 002 1293056755

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

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