There are a few different ways to create marbled paper, but if you ask us, the milk method is by far the coolest. The dish soap mixing with the colored milk creates such mesmerizing swirls. We almost didn't make it to the paper-dipping part because the first step was so fun. Try different food coloring pairings to create all sorts of fun paper that works as standalone art, mattes for photos or homemade cards.
SUPPLIES:
- Almond milk for 1 quart,
- Casserole dish for 2-quart dish
- Food coloring for set of 4,
- Dish soap for 2 bottles,
- Cotton swabs for box of 500,
- Watercolor paper for 24 sheets,
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pour a 1/2-inch layer of almond milk into a casserole dish. (Note: You can use any type of milk, but cow's milk may result in a sour smell, so we'd recommend sticking with almond.)
2. Sprinkle drops of food coloring around the tray, spaced evenly apart.
3. Fill a small, separate bowl with a couple squirts of dish soap.
4. Dip a cotton swab in dish soap and lightly tap each drop of food coloring.
5. Use a clean cotton swab to swirl the colors and create a marbled design.
6. Lay the watercolor paper down onto the surface of the milk and press. Then lift it straight up to remove. Hold the paper on its side over the casserole dish to allow the colors to drip and spread to add more of a marbled effect.
6. Lay the paper flat, colored side sup, to dry.
