In the spirit of St.Patrick's Day, we wanted to add a little bit of green decor to our office! We downloaded a free printable off the internet and marbleized it using shaving cream and food dye!
We found this free printable online! You can choose one that you like best and print it off on card stock. There are plenty to choose from if you search online.
Steal your husband's/boyfriend's shaving cream
Use a basic cookie tray or any sort of baking sheet, cover it in shaving cream.
Spread out the shaving cream using your hand, make sure the whole pan is covered.
Grab some green food dye from the pantry or run down to any grocery store and pick some up! Typically food coloring is very inexpensive.
We used about 10 drops of the green food coloring, in no particular pattern.
Use a fork and swirl the shaving cream and food coloring, these awesome looking designs will happen on their own! How COOL!
Next, you'll dip the entire paper face down into the shaving cream mixture!
Press down lightly, making sure that every inch of the paper has shaving cream on it.
When you lift up the paper, this is what it should look like!
Use a plastic ruler and scrape off the shaving cream, using a bit of force! You don't want residue on the paper!
Once you have scraped off all of the shaving cream, this is what your sign should look like in the end! We used magnets and hung ours on the kitchen fridge. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
