Marbled Dinner Napkins
$20
15 Minutes
Easy
Dress up some plain white dinner napkins with a fun marbled effect. Mix each of your acrylic paint colors (separately) with the fabric medium. Then grab an old cookie sheet or an aluminum tray and spray the shaving cream along the bottom.
You want to make sure you spread it all over. I chose these three colors and dipped them randomly. You can choose a different color scheme, if you like. This is the best part of this project. I love swirling the colors together! Place a napkin face down on top of the shaving cream.
Remove the napkin from the shaving cream tray and scrape the shaving cream off of the towel onto a trash bag or a piece of newspaper. Be sure to wipe the scraping tool clean before repeating this step.
Allow the napkin to dry. I simply put my napkins in a dryer for 40 minutes at a medium-high heat. You can also place a sheet of paper on top of your fabric and use an iron on a dry setting. These are so unique and pretty! I love using them to set my table.

What is the fabric medium you mentioned? It looks like the paint was just squirted out of the bottles? Or were you referring the acrylic fabric paints?
