9 Paper Marbling Tutorials That You’ve Been Waiting For

April 7, 2015 by Martha Bonneau 1 Comment

Years ago in college I took a printmaking class and one of the techniques we learned was how to create marbled paper. I loved the end result, but the method that we were taught was complicated and used materials that I did not readily have on hand. As much as I thought it would be a technique I would use again, I shelved the idea for years. Fast forward several years and marbled paper is now showing up as a DIY technique that can easily be created at home. At first I was skeptical as I assumed that without the expensive, complicated supplies you wouldn’t be able to achieve the same high-end results, but these tutorials prove otherwise! Who knew that with shaving cream and ink you could create beautifully marbled paper that can then be used for card making, scrapbooking, gift-wrap, and other DIY paper crafting projects.

These techniques for creating marbled paper use many household and crafting items that you already have on hand. Warning: marbling paper is addictive and once you start, no paper in your craft stash is safe! These tutorials range from very simple and kid-friendly to a little more in-depth but still easy to achieve at home. There are even ideas on projects to create with the marbled paper you have created, and trust me, you will be creating a lot of it!

I live with my husband, 7 and 4 year old daughters, and a pug named Pixie in Crystal Lake, Illinois which is in the ‘burbs NW of Chicago.
I started scrapping in 2006 and was quickly addicted!I was an avid scrapper until late summer of 2010 when we started our adoption journey, at that point I was overwhelmed with paperwork (and emotions!) and I had to put something on the back burner in my life but I knew I would eventually come back to it.
We welcomed our daughter home from China in December of 2011 and a few months later I found my groove again and pulled out all of those supplies that had been tucked away.
I started out scrapping again doing traditional layouts, but at the beginning of this year I jumped into Project Life and I love it!
When I’m not scrapping I am usually spending time with our daughters which means library time, going on walks, thrifting (they love it as much as I do!) or watching Kung Fu Panda for the millionth time.I also have an Etsy shop Panda Eight Designs where I sell scrapbooking flair that I design.

    Yes. I have used the shaving cream and ink method to create marbled papers before. I am going to give the marbled envelopes technique a try as soon as I my order for the marbling paint arrives! (Just ordered some.) I love getting pretty envelopes in the mail. It just adds so much to a simple envelope and makes the recipient smile! Thanks for the inspiration!
