Marbled Paper Making For Homeschool Activities

How To Make Marbled Paper
First Method
1. We filled a baking tray half full with water and then added a few drops of vinegar.
2. In some plastic throwaway cups we added a couple of drops of acrylic paint. We put in one color per cup and then mixed the paint with a few drops of methylated spirits.
3. We then added a few drops of the runny paint to the water/vinegar mixture.
4. Then we placed a sheet of white paper on top of the water, making sure all the paper was pushed onto the water. After a few seconds we pulled the paper off and then let it dry on some newspaper on the table.

Second Method For Making Homemade Paper
1. This time we half filled the baking tray with shaving cream and flattened the top. This makes it a really fun homeschool activity!
2. Then the boys dropped drops of food coloring onto the shaving cream.
3. Using a tooth pick, they swirled the food coloring through the shaving cream.
4. Finally, they placed a piece of paper on top of the shaving cream. After gently pushing the paper onto the shaving cream, they slowly pulled it off.
5. They scraped the excess shaving cream off with a spatula.
