What you need:

• (1) clean, 5-gallon bucket filled with water
• Several sheets of paper: colored, construction, card stock, patterned...experiment with what you have on hand!
• (3) cans Krylon spray paint, your choice of colors
• Drying line with clothespins

How and How Long:

1. Go For it: Choose a clean, well-ventilated area and place a small drop cloth down on your working space. Shake all of your paint cans thoroughly and have your paper, drying line, and clothespins ready. Fill the bucket with water leaving a few inches at the top but deep enough to accommodate the length of your paper. Select the color combination for your first piece of marbleized paper and spray a layer of paint color #1 onto the surface of the water within the bucket.
2. Spray color #2, then color #3 etc. Be generous, the surface should be covered with paint. The paint will float and mix on the surface of the water. HINT: Don't wait too long before lowering your paper.
3. Hold your paper by the top edge either with clothespins or your fingers and dip slowly straight down into the center of the bucket. The swirled paint will adhere as the paper is lowered Pull your paper straight out and hang to dry.
4. Finished: Pull your paper straight out and hang to dry. It is just that easy!! Once your paper is dry it can be used for any number of other great projects: book liners, scrap booking...

Approximate project time: 15 minutes.
