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!
