Playing with shaving cream is always fun, and having a beautiful craft to show for it gives you a good excuse. This activity is fun for children and adults alike. You can use the result for cards, book marks, or almost any other paper craft you can think of.
1 Dispense shaving creamApply shaving cream to the pan so that you can make a layer that is a little wider than your card stock sheet and about 1/2 " (1.25 cm) thick.

3 Drops of coloring or paintDrop about 8 – 10 drops of food colors or paint, evenly spread out, on the shaving cream layer.
4 Swirl the colorUse a stick or toothpick to swirl through the shaving cream and color drops to spread the color out in streaks across the shaving cream.
5 Lay cardstock on colorLay the cardstock on the shaving cream and gently press to make sure the cardstock contacts the colored areas.
6 Peel the cardstock off the shaving cream and lay on a clean area of the pan.
7 Squeegee!Scrape the squeegee across the cardstock to remove the shaving cream, leaving the color behind.
