Magical marbling paint

Simple work of art

"Art can come to life in many different ways," Anna thinks. She has just tried her hand at marbling paper which is a simple technique to create colourful art and greeting cards. Learn how to make the same here.

Material List

Marbling paint set

Watercolour paper - optional

Skref 1

Use the sisters' marbling paint set. If you run out of paper, you can cut watercolour paper to fit the tray.

Skref 2

Fill the tray with 200 ml warm tapwater. Add the bottle of liquid to the tray and let it disperse. The liquid will best disperse if you leave it for 15 minutes before you continue.

Skref 3

Shake your paint before use and poke a hole through the top, just like Anna does in the video. Spread the first colour evenly in the water. Now, add the selected colours.

Skref 4

Use the stick to draw the colours and create patterns.

Skref 5

Place the paper on the surface and press it lightly.

Skref 6

Remove the paper using tweezers and leave it to dry on an even surface at room temperature. If you move your paper around while it is still wet, the sharp details of the paper can move. "Patience is a virtue," Anna says.
