Discover how to create beautiful marbled paper in just a few easy steps. Using spray paints and water, this simple process transforms ordinary sheets into colorful works of art perfect for wrapping, labels, or handmade holiday decorations.
Marbled paper
Now, at the beginning of November, the countdown to the holidays has begun, so here is an idea for transforming paper, which can be used during the holidays for various decorative objects, using a very simple technique with spectacular effects.
Here's how to do it in 6 simple steps:
Start with a bucket or container large enough to hold your chosen paper (I used large A3 sheets of watercolor paper). Fill the container with about 2-3 cm of water.
The stages of marble paper making
Using paint in spray tubes (sprays can be used for all surfaces), spray it on the surface of the water (Caution!!! this must be done outdoors or in a well-ventilated room and it is recommended to use a mask).
Multiple colors are added at once to the surface of the water.
Let the colors blend, shake the bucket to blend the colors better, or even use a stick to mix the colors. You can even create different patterns, such as spider webs.
Place the paper on the surface of the water and then lift it quickly (the more absorbent the paper, such as watercolor paper, the better it will work). Be careful, spray paint dries quickly, even on the surface of the water, so you have to work quickly!
The result is a stunning decorative piece that is quick to make.
