After you have gathered your supplies, start by spraying a layer of shaving cream on a small pan.
Take 2 colors of paint, squeeze stripes of a color in one direction, and squeeze stripes of the other color in the other direction.
Make sure you leave plenty of white foam showing as well.
Shaving Cream Hearts
Take a sheet of paper and lay it on top of the paint and shaving cream. Press down gently to make sure the paper is completely coated on the front side, then lift it off and lay it face up on a piece of parchment paper or a prepared area.
Take your scraper and slide it along the paper so that the shaving cream and paint is scraping off. Children love seeing the shaving cream slide off and the beautiful marbled design left on the paper.
Marbled Shaving Cream Hearts
Empty the pan of shaving cream and paint, or have extra containers for different color combinations. Repeat the steps until all your other sheets of paper are done with different colors.
Let them all dry.
When the marbled paper is dry, cut out a heart template from any size paper. Trace the template on the backs of your dried shaving cream art papers and cut them out.
